Fathers play an important role in a child’s life – they stand by them through thick and thin and help them achieve the best in life.
Father’s Day is celebrated every year in the third week of June to celebrate this special bond between children and their father,. This year, it falls on June 16 (Sunday) in India.
The origin of Father`s Day
It is believed that the day was started by an American woman who was raised by a widower. Sonora Smart Dodd was born in Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1982, and her mother died when she was only 16. It was Dodd’s father, William Smart, who raised her and five brothers after their mother died. Dodd was bothered that there was no day to honour her father who raised the children alone wanted the celebration to be held on June 5, her father’s birthday. But it was later pushed to Sunday, June 19, 1910.
