Sir — Diwali is a time filled with light and love, a time when Indians all over the world rejoice. It is the darkest night of the darkest period, yet it is a celebration of light. However, Diwali is not a festival of lights in order that we may burn fireworks and sparklers. Sure, these are wonderful ways of expressing our gaiety but it is not the only or true meaning of ‘light’. The purpose is to not glorify the light of the candle or the firecracker. The purpose is to glorify the light of god. It is he who bestows the real light, the everlasting light upon the darkness of this mundane world.
