@anonymous-d4n1v No it's SOUTH ASIANS! It's not just Indian Hindus who celebrate it, Nepalese and Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Bhutanese Hindus celebrate it too. So saying "South Asians celebrate it" is NOT wrong and incomparable to Indian Christians celebrating Christmas.

@meawwow That's not woke.

 @anaesthete5592 Indians get offended at the use of "South Asian" but then use "Indian subcontinent" which means the same thing LOLOLOLOLOLOL
2
@dshah8921 Newar Budhists in Nepal celebrate it too. Jains and Sikhs celebrate it too. So no, it's not just a Hindu festival and they never said it's a South Asian festival. Listen! They said it's celebrated by South Asians, which is correct!

@neeldani7450 No, South Asian is a term to describe people from South Asia. Indian males stay in school challenge impossible.

@SuryaJinping cause Christmas is not a festival native to India or South Asia. What's not clicking??

@SuryaJinping Diwali is celebrated as Tihar by the Lhotshampa. Afghanistan is not part of South Asia. It's ridiculous how this person is focusing so much on Muslims all because they refuse to accept the fact that South Asian Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Nepali Buddhists celebrate Diwali or their version of the Festival of Lights.
1
@SuryaJinping Lhotshampa are Bhutanese. It's a South Asian festival, not an Indian festival.
1
@SuryaJinping They discriminated against them because the Bhutanese government wanted them to assimilate into Ngalop culture
1
@SuryaJinping Nah, it's a South Asian festival
1
@SuryaJinping South Asian festivals are indigenous festivals like Diwali NOT Eid or Christmas.
1
@SuryaJinping They're Lhotshampas who are Bhutanese and identify as Bhutanese. Indians stop being racist to other South Asians challenge impossible

Oh stop your crying oml

@wonderworld7721 Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are all South Asians.

@wonderworld7721 India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are South Asian

@quiet7632 They're all South Asian

@anaesthete5592 Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are South Asians.

@anaesthete5592 Who said they are all the same? Stop getting triggered over a word lmfao. No, I am not Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi.
1
@anaesthete5592 Yes they mean the same thing. Did you not learn geography??
1
@anaesthete5592 cause only Indian nationalists like to use "Indian subcontinent" because it's Indocentric.
1
@anaesthete5592 It's South Asia, not Indian subcontinent. Only Indian nationalists use that term because they think the almost the whole of Asia belongs to India lmfao
1
@anaesthete5592 You don't know who I am and yet you're here saying all this stuff. Jeez, can we ban India from using Western social media? They have their own stuff but prefer to flock to Western and at one point Chinese (TikTok) sites.
1
@anaesthete5592 Who said I don't like India? This is why the internet needs to be banned in India. Always seeing the most ridiculous statements being made by people from that country.

@anaesthete5592 In your previous comment. Go back and read it.

@callmebhdh Imagine creating an account with a account name like that. Peak joblessness.
1
@ss-ib8gm Newar Buddhists of Nepal celebrate it as do Sikhs and Jains.
1
@neeldani7450 cause they're all Indians while Sri Lankan Tamils are Sri Lankans. What's not clicking???
1
@neeldani7450 Indo-Guyanese and other Indian communities outside of India are of ethnic Indian descent. Are you going to tell me that the CEOs of those big tech companies are no longer ethnic Indian?
1
@neeldani7450 Yes lmao. Sri Lankan Tamils are native to northern Sri Lanka, hence they're called SRI LANKAN Tamils.
1
@neeldani7450 and we all came from Africa, does that mean we're all Africans??? The concept of India didn't even exist back then. Sri Lankan Tamils are from Sri Lanka. Sinhalese are from Sri Lanka and they didn't even migrate from Orissa. Why do Indians keep saying this? Sinhalese formed from an Orissa-related lineage that intermixed with the indigenous groups on the island like the Yakshas and all that. Make sure you know what you're talking about. Not everybody on earth is an Indian.
1
@neeldani7450 Yeah it did, it was called British India which is why they're still all called Indians in Kenya, South Africa, Caribbean and Myanmar. Sri Lankan Tamils on the other hand didn't come from a country called India, South Asia was just a bunch of kingdoms when they settled in Sri Lanka. They are Sri Lankans.
1
@neeldani7450 British India was a Crown Colony of the British Empire. The area that the British colonised was known as India or Bharat. All of those people are Indians. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, was a separate Crown Colony of the UK and before that was never a part of India. Sri Lankans are NOT Indians.
1
@user-wl3dh5nq7c Sinhalese are NOT Indians. Sinhalese formed from an East Indian-related lineage that mixed with indigenous groups on the island. I have n idea why Indians are so obsessed with claiming the whole of South Asia as Indian. Istg India is the biggest threat to Asia.
1
@user-wl3dh5nq7c Are you going to say Koreans are Chinese? What about Vietnamese people? Are they Chinese? If you say Sinhalese and other Sri Lankans are Indians then all of those groups are Chinese. In fact, we're all Africans then. Grow up and get yourself educated.

@neeldani7450 Before that, Sri Lanka was NEVER a part of India. Do some research, Indian female.
1
@user-wl3dh5nq7c You literally said that Sinhalese or Sri Lankans are Indians. No, you're wrong. South and Southeast Asia are part of the Indosphere. Sri Lanka also absorbed influences from Southeast Asians like the Peranakan Chinese who settled in Sri Lanka and became the Sri Lankan Malays during the Dutch period. So saying it's all Indian is incorrect.
1
@neeldani7450 Yeah because Sri Lankan Tamils are from Sri Lanka while Burmese Tamils came from India.
1
@neeldani7450 I'm not a Sri Lankan Tamil and Sri Lankan Tamils are not ethnically Malayali. You need to do some more research.
1
@orientalguy9462 So??? Most South Asians celebrate it so yeah saying South Asians celebrate it is correct. Dharmic people? Seriously?? In what universe do Sri Lankan, Thai, Cambodian, Burmese, Lao, Malaysian, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Bhutanese and Korean Buddhists celebrate Diwali? Balinese don't celebrate Diwali.
1
@orientalguy9462 It's SOUTH ASIAN, get over it
1
@AS_41 Diwali has different meaning to the Newar Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. Get yourself educated! It's SOUTH ASIAN. Cry about it, Indian
1
@orientalguy9462 South Asians celebrate Diwali. I really don't gaf what some Indian male has to say. Cry harder. It's South Asian, NOT Indian and that's what people think in the West. CRY CRY CRY

@SuryaJinping Who here is talking about Muslims???
1
@SuryaJinping Sikhs celebrate Diwali which they call Bandi Chhorr Divas
1
@rairadiobangla Afghanistan is not part of South Asia and Kashmir is not a country. The majority of people in Pakistan and Bangladesh practice non-indigenous religions and cultural practices that are incompatible with Eastern philosophy. I don't consider the bulk of their cultures to be South Asian. Chakma, Barua, Bengali Buddhists and Hindus are culturally related to the other Indosphere cultures of South and Southeast Asia though.
