why is one Deepavali and another Diwali ?
it's not just Tamil vs hindhi
in fact it's Dravidian vs Aryans
just ask a Tamil and a N Indian why they celebrate Diwali or Deepavali
and they will tell you an entirely two different stories
thats because this Deepavali itself is a British invention.
how ?
you see ,in order to give some holidays to some religions the British decided on this Deepavali for Hindus, otherwise each state in India celeberated different days as their festivities, in fact every day in India had some religious significance
even till today ,though Diwali is celeberated commonly each region has its own days celeberated more significantly than Deepavali
anyway ,Happy Deepavali to all Hindus
