2nd October is a National Holiday in India. It is birthday of Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi. It is also the birthday of Lal Bahadur Shastri, 2nd Prime Minister of India who was first real Prime Minister of Indian Republic, who worked for his country. Iran's Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi proposed for an International Day of Non-Violence in 2004, and resolution was passed in 2007 by United Nations General Assembly to celebrate 2 October as international Day of Non-Violence Edit :- In India it is also celebrated as Dry day, and Sales- Purchase of Alcoholic beverages is prohibited on this day.

During that time he was not accepted, and even now Nobel Peace receivers are not that good.

Yes, UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/61/271 of 15 June 2007, marks The International Day of Non-Violence on 2 October. As an Indian it is pride , still I favour Bachchu Singh and revolutionary leaders more.

You got a valid file, yes UN accepted it as international non violence day and it is pride for India that an Indian is accepted for his works, but we still know freedom was fought by revolutionary leaders, not by charkha.

No pickle day as well, because it container oil, which makes it wet, so no bread and no pickle day.

Yes 2 October is national holiday, this day is also celebrated as international day of non-violence by United Nations. We in India are celebrating this day since childhood. But I prefer Bhagat Singh and Bachchu Singh more.
