In a wave of cultural recognition and inclusivity, yet another victory has been achieved for the Indian community in the United States. Following in Pennsylvania's footsteps, New York City too passed a bill to establish Diwali as an official school holiday. The New York Senate and Assembly voted in favor of the bill, and Governor Kathy Hochul is anticipated to sign it into law.
