"People wishing 'happy diwali to all my desis' need to stop cause it is a hindu festival and not all desis are hindus". Shut up. We here in our country are very tolerant of each other and intermingle in each other's culture just fine. I don't need some westerner to safeguard my culture or tell me what people of my own country are fine/not fine with. The way the next door muslim neighbour gives our family biryani every year on eid and their little kid gets excited weeks before diwali cause it's the time when people exchange his favourite soan papdi is not something that will be threatened just because you wished one's festival to an entire population. Go cry in a corner cause your gatekeeping doesn't work here. Hindus posting under the comment section of ayatul kursi how they respect islam, indians cherishing pakistani singer's talent under random coke studio music videos and saying how our cultures unites us, the way my muslim best friend plays holi with me every year cause she enjoys it, you think these people, people like us, feel threatened because some white person wished them diwali? Or even Eid? Fuck this. Say happy janmashtami to all my desis, say merry Christmas to all my desis, say eid mubarak to all my desis, mention every festival every known on the planet and wish it to us desis cause that's how diverse we are
