Yesterday millions of people across the globe marked Diwali, a major Hindu, Sikh and Jain holiday celebrating the victory of the good in every human being over the evil. To mark this triumph followers light lamps, candles and even fireworks. The White House celebrated Diwali this past Friday, October 24, with a senior Bush administration official lighting the traditional diya and addressing the Indian American community.
