Before you know it, there wont be ANY school days in NYC... It is unclear why De Blasio granted two holidays for Muslims and denied the appeals by Indians for one. Estimates of the number of Muslims in New York City vary between 200,000 and 1,000,000. A website called A Journey Through NYC Religions estimates the number to be 600,000—roughly seven percent of the population. Still, NYC has the most Hindu adherents of any city in the United States. Moreover, there are more than 80,000 Hindu adherents in the greater area of New York, NY-NJ-PA. For years, ethnic groups have lobbied for all four holidays to be recognized. Former Mayor Bloomberg opposed all school closures, wanting the kids to have as much time in school as possible.
