1947 returns as 2014
1947 returns as 2014, 2014 Calender, 1947 Vs 2014 Calender. The year 2013 gives way for 1947! In a way, yes. Both years begin on the same day – Wednesday they have identical calendar.
Hyderabad: The year 2013 gives way for 1947! In a way, yes. Both years begin on the same day – Wednesday they have identical calendar.
Both the years also end on the same day that they begin with. Such a rare coincidence brings the déjà vu once again all over us. Not only that throughout the year, both will be sharing each of the 365 days.
January 1, 2014, falls on Wednesday and December 31, 2014, also falls on a Wednesday, as it happened 67 years ago.
1947 holds special significance for every Indian. It was on Friday, August 15, 1947, when India became an independent country and Jawaharlal Nehru became its first Prime Minister. In 2014 too, the Independence Day will fall on Friday.
Social scientists even try to find a similarity in the political scenario comparing the event of winning Independence to the passing of Lokpal bill as a pre-step towards liberation from corruption ruling the nation.
Those were among the most intensely heroic days of his life when Gandhiji declared fast unto death for establishing communal harmony in the nation. In 2013, anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare broke his nine-day fast shortly after Lok Sabha passed the Lokpal Bill on December 19.
However, the Indian festivals will have separate celebration days since they differ each year because of being calculated on the basis of planetary motions and Hindu panchang.
Festivals such as Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Dushhera and Deepawali fell on March 6, August 31, October 24 and November 12, 1947 respectively whereas in 2014 these festivals will fall on March 17, August 10 , October 4 and October 24 respectively.
