    Trump tweets about Diwali celebrations, forgets to mention 'Hindus'

    US President Donald Trump celebrated Diwali at a White House ceremony but surprisingly omitted the word 'Hindus', the largest community in the world that celebrates the festival of lights, in his tweets, drawing severe criticism from netizens. Trump hosted Diwali celebrations today in the historic Roosevelt Room of the White House, which was attended by prominent Indian-Americans, Indian-origin administration and diplomatic officials. Here's more.

    Diwali, a holiday observed by Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains: Trump

    In his first tweet, Trump forgot to greet the Hindus. "Today, we gathered for Diwali, a holiday observed by Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains throughout the US... Hundreds of millions of people have gathered with family & friends to light the Diya and to mark the beginning of a New Year," Trump initially tweeted, attaching a YouTube link of the WH event along with it.

    White House chose to ignore questions on Trump's tweets

    Though social media had a field day, White House didn't respond to questions on the tweets by the President and the criticism that he didn't mention 'Hindus' in his tweets. But, Time magazine, pointing out, said, "President Trump leaves out Hindus in Diwali tweets."
