Pakistan came into existence on 14th August 1947 and India on 15th August 1947. This was based purely on Religion. Pakistan has Islam and India observes Hinduism and Buddhism as national Religion. Muslims migrated towards Pakistan and Hindus towards India. but, many Muslims were left in India, similarly Hindus in Pakistan.
Holi is the pure and spring festival of Hindus. It is celebrated on a wide range in Nepal and India. Holi is a holiday in both Nepal and India. Hindus takes it as their religious festival and celebrates it with pomp and show.
Pakistan respects all the religions and Pakistanis understands the feelings of followers of every religion on their religious festivals. the holi day has been treated as an optional holiday for last 40-55 years. But, the government of Sindh has announced holi as a public holiday in 2016. so this year 24/03/16 will be observed as a holiday and this is really a good and admiring news for Hindus.
Hindus now can celebrate their festival in Pakistan without taking stress of their jobs and business.
