Pakistan's Hindus celebrate Diwali with spirited enjoyment and diligent devotion.

Firecrackers were burnt, new clothes were worn, gifts were presented to each other's family members and relatives.

It's not always easy to celebrate Diwali in Pakistan, but it would be wrong to say that it doesn't exist at all.
