I'd like to say something about this news. Yes, holi is hindu spring festival and it is celebrated by all hindu communities. For example, 80% of population of my country Nepal are Hindus and they have been celebrating holi for ages. I feel it's unfair to say it's celebrated in india and becoming popular internationally.
