Watch out: In October 2024 the interim government decided to cancel eight national days; news reports include 7 March, 17 March and 15 August among them. The books follow the older list, so exams still use the book's dates. ★ marks the importance stars printed in Khandokar.
Memory trick: 2 March = Flag Day in both books; Khandokar also gives Voters' Day on 2 March.
