DEEPAVALI is a timely reminder that Good always triumphs over Evil. For this year’s Festival of Lights tomorrow, the Hindu community will come together to pray for the Covid-19 pandemic to end soon as a sign that good will eventually prevail.

For Khaty Gurwant Kaur, even though she is a Punjabi, she’s determined to educate the younger generation on the significance of the Festival of Lights.
