Muslim festivals not included in NPR: Why there is nothing communal about it

Some on social media asked why there is no Eid, Bakrid or any other Muslim festival on page 39 of the NPR manual. Festivals are mentioned to help a person guess the month of birth in case someone remembers the year of birth, but cannot recall the month. Islamic festivals take place according to the Islamic Lunar Calendar. Due to this, it does not help in identifying the month of birth of a person as it does not take place in a particular month in the Gregorian calendar. While some Muslims have alleged that this is a clear sign of the outcome of the NPR, let us explain the rationale behind this on MyNation’s SimplifiedBy.
