“This week, people across the country will celebrate Diwali, Deepavali, and Bandi Chhor Divas.

Today on Diwali, families will come together to celebrate the festival of light, good prevailing over evil, and light over darkness. Families will come together to light lamps, exchange gifts and take part in celebrations. On Friday for, Bandi Chhor Divas, let’s remember the power of standing together, in solidarity, in the face of injustice.
