排灯节：泰米尔纳德邦只放假一天，不过...

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu government's official calendar confirms that there will be only one day holiday for Diwali. Schools and colleges will be closed only on Sunday (October 27).

Education department officials said that the decision was taken to ensure that schools work for minimum number of working days (210 per academic year).

泰米尔纳德邦官方证实，今年排灯节只放假一天，大中院校仅在周日（10月27日）这一天放假。

Some parents wanted Saturday also to be a holiday so that they can travel to their native places and buy crackers and sweets the previous day.

然而，有些家长希望周六这一天也放假，这样就可以返乡过节，可以在过节前一天买鞭炮和糖果

（注：排灯节，又称万灯节、印度灯节或者屠妖节，是印度教、锡克教和耆那教“以光明驱走黑暗，以善良战胜邪恶”的节日。于每年10月或11月中举行，一些佛教信徒也庆祝这个节日。由于其影响力盖过其它节日，故往往会被新马一带的华人社会误解成印度人的新年节日）

Meanwhile they announce holidays for random relatively trivial stuff such as 75th birthday of some leader etc.

哈哈，某些领导过75岁大寿，还给我们放假呢。

both fireworks and sweets are bad. celebrate all festivals without them

过节放鞭炮和吃糖果，不好。以后过节别用这些来庆祝

Dravidian Tamilians have already all converted to Vatican. So, no difference.

德拉威泰米尔人都已经皈依梵蒂冈了。

Diwali should not be celebrated at all... even bogi festival.. reason simple, protecting Earth, air and ozone layer... all celebration, industries and anything related to air pollution should be stopped forever.. protect Earth

我们压根就不该庆祝排灯结。

原因很简单，保护地球啊，保护臭氧层啊

一切会造成污染的节日庆祝和工业生产，都应该叫停。

大家一起来保护地球
