San Francisco: Before the newly elected President of America Donald Trump takes power, there is good news for the Hindu students living there. In Ohio, America, it has been announced to give Diwali holiday and two other Hindu holidays every year to Hindu students. This has created a wave of happiness among Hindu students. An Indian American senator has informed about this decision of America.
It is being told that a bill sponsored by Indian American Senator Neeraj Antani was passed by the Senate of Ohio, which has now been approved by Governor Mike DeWine. Antani said, “Because of this bill I co-sponsored, every Hindu student in Ohio will be able to take Diwali off every year starting in 2025. This is an incredible moment for the Hindus of Ohio.” Antani said that Ohio has become the first state in America to give leave to every student on Diwali.
Hindu students will get holidays on these festivals also
Antani is the first Hindu US senator from Ohio. He said that apart from this, Hindu students will be able to take two other religious holidays. For this they will have many options. Under this, Gujarati Hindu students will be able to take leave for Navratri (Annakoot), BAPS devotees Pramukh Swami Maharaj Jayanti, Swaminarayan devotees Hari Jayanti, Telugu students Ugadi, Tamil students Pongal, Bengali Hindu students Durga Puja, Punjabi Hindu students Lohri and ISKCON devotees Krishna Janmashtami.
