A joyous Diwali from Obama Dear Friends, Thank you for the opportunity to share a few thoughts with you as we near the night of Diwali. In the coming days, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and their friends of all faiths will gather across America and around the world to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Americans, despite our varied backgrounds, believe that all people are created equal, and that each person should be free to practice or not practice religion as they choose. But these beliefs have faced challenges at home and abroad throughout history, but they are the beliefs our nation was founded on, and we always return to them. Much has happened in the world since the last Diwali, and this is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the year past and rededicate ourselves to spreading peace and tolerance in the coming year…. …I hope you enjoy your celebration and renew your commitment to overcoming ignorance. I wish you all the best for a Barack Obama joyous Diwali.
