Indians make a big proportion of the Asian population in the United States, therefore it is appropriate to observe it as a national holiday.

Next step is to recognize Diwali as a National Holiday.

They added Kwanzaa and i dont know one black person (including myself) that celebrates it. Its not even religious!

Hindu is the oldest religion in the world. There are more Hindu then Jews and the Jews get a holiday so why not the Hindus.
