Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 06:42:58 +0000

To reproduce:

LANG="mr_IN.utf8" date -d 'Wednesday' +%A

I see the value
मंगळवार

This is the Marathi equivalent of Tuesday.  LANG="mr_IN.utf8" date -d 'Wednesday' +%A returns the same string.  Other Marathi weekdays are correct.

I see Tue/Wed different here (Fedora 23).
In any case this is not a coreutils issue
as those strings come from the locale database:

$ locale day
Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday
$ LANG="mr_IN.utf8" locale day
रविवार;सोमवार;मंगळवार;बुधवार;गुरुवार;शुक्रवार;शनिवार

thanks,
Pádraig

Indeed, it was a bug in glibc locale data [1] and has been fixed [2]
in version 2.17. If you mention Fedora the fix has been included
in Fedora 19. Please close this bug report, it was not a coreutils
issue and it has been fixed 5.5 years ago.
