      @Arjun Chauhan where did it said, I can't see in any Indian text. Hindu is not a religion, the word is came from Britisher to describe our
      culture(as in history), and vedas didn't mention any religion like hindu they told real knowledge not belief(Hinduism is actually a way of life not a type of belief). India is not a religion country for people to believe but it was a seeking country were so Many people came to know pure knowledge in there. If God is their there is no need to make a religion or any belief to get the pureness of almighty but you have to be pure in heart and soul.

    Happy Diwali 🪔!! I went on a overnight cruise in Vietnam 🇻🇳 last year and I met a group of Indian travellers. We danced and sung all night; to a mixture of Aussie electronica, and traditional Indian music 😁😂. Today my friend sent me a message: “Happy Diwali”, which brings me here 😄

    When lord Ram returned home with his wife Sita and Laxman after 14 years of exile ( why and how, a long story), people welcomed him back by lighting diyas with ghee ( say lights). People celebrate the day as diwali by decorating their homes, puja, lights.

      The word Hindustan is actually a name given to India by ancient Middle-Easterners ( read Assyrians , Persians).
      It refers to the Land in and around river Sindhu (or Hindu in ancient persian - read Zend Avasta).
      It is not a reference to the Hindus or Hinduism.
      Hinduism is a term coined during the British Raj (not necessarily by the British). It has nothing to do with Ancient India.
