So i'm guessing this is why we don't 'celebrate' holi, with all the rang and everything? Just wondering though isn't it sort of related to Sikhs by Bhagat Prahlaad and him being mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib Ji?

Wasn't HolA Mohalla created in 'opposite' to HolI, does that mean we can celebrate both?

Sorry if i've offended anyone or this topic has already been discussed.
