Good step from Imran Khan. As the leader of the country, he needs to make everyone feel welcome.

Is Holi a Hindu-exclusive event?
Tbh I look at it more like Christmas or Xmas which is now celebrated by everyone regardless of the religion. Same goes for Holi, I used to play Holi with my cousins and friends in Pakistan as well as in my uni we have Holi party which is open for people from any religion.

Think in Islam, intentions are key.
If playing holi has no religious connotations for you, then dont think its an issue in my view.

I don’t know many Hindus that know what is the religious significance of Holi, hell my dad didn’t know but luckily for me I had google, so there is a religious background.
As per wikipedia and its reference Holi was celebrated by Mughals as well
“there are several paintings of Mughal emperors celebrating Holi".[36] Grand celebrations of Holi were held at the Lal Qila, where the festival was also known as Eid-e-gulaabi or Aab-e-Pashi.[35] Mehfils were held throughout the walled city of Delhi with aristocrats and traders alike participating.[35] Bahadur Shah Zafar himself wrote a song for the festival, while poets such as Amir Khusrau, Ibrahim Raskhan, Nazeer Akbarabadi and Mehjoor Lakhnavi relished it in their writings.[35]
Because everyone doesn’t consider Christmas to be a religious festival. A lot of people see it as a secular one. Can’t say the same thing about Holi, Diwali or Eid. Here in Sweden, majority of the people (except for school children) don’t even visit church on Christmas.
Besides, Christmas itself has a pagan(Germanic) and non-Christian origin.

I don’t know anyone that prays during Holi either..Diwali is religious.. and ppl pray
True, Holi seems to have less religious value to it. Still, most people see it as a Hindu festival, whereas Christmas is seen as a secular festival by many (at least in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe).

Hmm I guess thats weird co Christmas includes Church and star whereas Holi doesn’t include any religious thing at all.. but perceptions maybe , as I posted above though it was celebrated by Mughals as well.
Also the one that started the thread is a christian..
