As per the rules of the International Standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week, and then it is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Even though it is the international standard, some The countries like United States of America, Canada, Australia, India, and much more countries consider Sunday as the first day of the week.
