Question

Why is it wrong to say Diwali is the Hindu Christmas?

Answer 1

Diwali is the five-day festival of lights, celebratedby millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world. The festival, which coincides with the Hindu New Year, celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.

Answer 2

It serves as a cultural lighthouse and a reminder of our roots. A few weeks earlier we celebrated Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. ... Why do we celebrate both the Hindu holiday of Diwali and the Christian holiday of Christmas, which land on the calendar nearly at the same time
