Saw in papers today about the festival of lights being celebrated in Pakistan, with official posters and declaration of holiday for senate etc.
While Economic times states "Pakistan enthusiastically celebrates Diwali", the Hindu writes "Diwali lights across the border"
Found a nicer note and the official posters another blog -

Here is the picture and news from "Pakistan Hindu Council" website.
This is very good news!
Seems these have been happening earlier too, but hoping that this is sustained and is a good start of better relationships.
Not just for Pakistan and India, but a good gesture towards inclusive society and sharing happiness with community irrespective of their majority/minority status will improve compassion and reduce the conflicts everywhere.
