Thanks alot for posting it & giving a link back to my site.
Have a nice day
thanks for letting me use it! Please let me know if you ever see any information I am missing in my posts about Pakistani or other cultures that you know!
Just a few countable people celebrate this in Pakistan and lots of publicity…
Jitendra, why do you people object all the time. can you not find how these people are liberal in Pakistan & they have no problems with their temples. They led a normal life here. I have many hindu friends in Pakistan & we even have good relation with them. If they celebrate their festival with this way or other way, its upto them. why are you upset……….
Jitendra — send us a picture of information about how other people celebrate holidays in Pakistan and we’d be glad to give it publicity, too! You can email pictures to worldculturenet@gmail.com and we will post them (I don’t think you can post pictures to comments.)
According to the CIA World Factbook, the Pakistani population is 97% Muslim, so you are right that a minority would celebrate Hindu holidays like Diwali in Pakistan.
Our goal is to allow people to share information about different cultures, so please tell us about yours, and have fun learning about the ones with which you’re not familiar.
I want to make Hindu friends from Pakistan. Wants to share their feelings. If anyone interested, please reply
