April Fool's Day HistoryApril Fool's Day is globally recognized as a day to play practical jokes and hoaxes. The customs and practices associated with April Fools’ Day do vary from one country to another, but they mostly involve playing pranks or spreading hoaxes, with the pranksters later declaring “April Fool!” to the unsuspecting victims. Amid the amusement it generates, the day serves as a unique way of reinforcing social ties through shared laughter, promoting creativity as people devise innovative pranks, and providing a sanctioned occasion for mischief in many societies around the world. While the exact origins of April Fool’s Day remain uncertain, some historians trace its roots back to 16th-century France when the Julian calendar, which started the new year around April, was replaced by the Gregorian calendar that began the year on January 1. People who continued with the old tradition were mocked and thus, the genesis of a prank day. In India, although not officially recognized as a holiday, April Fool's Day is celebrated with much enthusiasm. The day has no religious significance but its observance has been inextricably woven into the fabric of popular culture through television, newspapers, and social media platforms, that often join in with pranks of their own. Indian celebrations of April Fool's Day bear a semblance to its global counterparts, predominantly involving pranks played among friends, colleagues, and family members. Much like other countries, media outlets in India too run faux stories and advertisements, contributing to the playful spirit of the day. Corporates also leverage the occasion for brand engagement, producing hoax advertisements or faux product announcements. April Fool's Day occurs on the first of April each year.
