Prompt 2 of 5
Pin a country where Diwali is a national public holiday
Ruling note: Malaysia counts, though Sarawak works through it. A day off for Hindus alone, as in Pakistan and Kenya, doesn’t count, and a US state’s holiday is no country’s.
Gem note: Workers from India brought Diwali to Guyana from 1838 and to Suriname from 1873, and their descendants keep its lamps burning in South America.
