World Calendar Day
Looking Back at 1800 Day
The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.
Regional/Cultural Day
Youm al-Ta'lim
The start of the academic year in Kuwait, where education is free for all citizens from kindergarten through university, and the literacy rate is over 96 percent. Kuwait University was founded in 1966, and the country now has over a dozen private universities and colleges. The day is marked by the ritual of the first day of school: new uniforms, new backpacks, and the traffic jams around every school in the country. The Kuwaiti educational system was one of the first in the Gulf to admit women (in 1966), and the Kuwaiti constitution guarantees free education as a fundamental right.
Regional/Cultural Day
