Why Sunday is a holiday?

Question

Why Sunday is a holiday?

by aklakhman Analyst. Studied from GJU Hisar in General Knowledge asked Apr 15, 2022

I got this screenshot on internet which says that in 1881 Shri Narayan Megha Ji Lokhande asked British govt. (hukumat) that we work for 7 days in a week, there should be a holiday in a week so that we get time to fulfill our social duties. Govt. refused to declare Sunday as holiday. Then Shri Narayan Megha Ji Lokhande started an agitation for this in 1881 and after 8 years, British govt. declared Sunday as a holiday.

Is this story right/correct ?
