WHO STARTED 5 DAY WEEK ?

"The Indian civilisation has given may things to the world..." said the History teacher to the class. Who can name a few?

"The zero…" said Veru Sahasrabudhe
"Astronomy" said Aryabhatt Abhyankar
"Classical Music" said Ravishankar Paluskar
"Chess…" said Wishwanathan Anand…
"5-Day week" said Bandya Band-sode

"How do you mean?" asked the teacher with a puzzled look.

"I mean, working Monday-to-Friday & holidays on Saturday-Sunday." Bandya explained.

"No, no! Not that, but who started it?" the teacher.

"It's going on from the Mahabharat times…" Bandya elaborated further.

"Is that so ? And who started this system you say ?" the History teacher was still skeptical.

Bandya said: "Draupadi."
