Accordingly Labor 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 Labor Kisan Party of Hindustan. Meanwhile the leader of the party, Comrade Singaravelar arranged two meetings to celebrate this occasion.
As per report 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 Labor 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.
Furthermore Labor Day is celebrated as the day for protests not only in
India but around the world. This is when the working men and women participate
in processions to defend their rights and safeguard their interests. Moreover
various labor organizations and trade unions come up with their processions so
that the economic reforms they have proposed become effective in a short period
of time. Other than processions, you will find contests being organized for
children to participate and understand the bond of togetherness.
