<br />Labour Day in India or May Day was first celebrated in Chennai (then known as Madras) on May 1, 1923. The initiative was taken by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan. The leader of the party, Comrade Singaravelar arranged two meetings to celebrate this occasion.<br /><br />One meeting was held at the Triplicane Beach, and the other took place at the beach opposite Madras High Court. On the meeting, Singaravelar passed a resolution which stated that the government should announce a national holiday on the May Day or Labour Day in India. He also emphasized the need for non-violence within a political party. This was the first time a red flag was used in India.<br /><br />____________________________________________________________<br />Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE ...<br />____________________________________________________________<br />Thanks For Watching #SOOTHINGDIVINE,<br />
