My niece had their first child a son. It was a low key small family affair.
They were blessed with a daughter which she so dearly wished to have. She celebrated it in a hall with about 200 people with an improvised indoor fire, sesame seed and lot of peanuts, Gur and riorian.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed and she made it a point to flag how happy they were to do it for their daughter.
Let us not try to politically correct everything with eradication but educate people to enjoy while getting rid of biases.

(when Guru Teg Bahadur ji came out of the prison with 52 Kashmiri Royals and refused to leave prison alone).

If anyone would like to correct my I will gladly accept the correction Just my humble view | Joginder Singh Foley ji very correct observation and my observations on Diwali.
Way back when I was younger Diwali was Diwali, a cultural festival for Sikhs and a religious festival for Hindus. Then I started hearing about sanitization of this into Bandi Chor Divis (when Guru Hargobind Sahib ji came out of the prison with 52 Kashmiri Royals and refused to leave prison alone).
We used to go to Ram Lila (Diwali fable plays to watch for fun and were not given any religious lectures). With hardening of religious divide and the strength of the majority starting to negatively impact minorities, there is sour taste and so perhaps sanitization efforts.
Not to offend any pious and religious just how it was with me.
Fun and frolic, sweets and fireworks.
Sat Sri Akal.

Ambarsaria ji, if i am not wrong, Diwali is Bandi Chor divis for sikhs when Guru Hargobind Sahib ji (not Guru Teg Bahadur ji) came out of the prison with 52 kings
