Christians studying Diwali to convert Hindus. They are always strategizing, always looking for an entryway.
This is published by Lausanne, a global group pushing Christian missionary work globally. They are always looking for a way to convert people.
They are always looking for deceptive ways also. Some way that appears to be one thing, but is another. When a Chrisian is talking about Diwali, the goal is your conversion.

Quotes:
Building Gospel Bridges through Diwali
The cultural side of Diwali often takes precedence over the religious side. Hindus rarely fight over religious or theological differences. Seldom do we see Hindus defending their version of the Diwali story or arguing on behalf of their deity being superior to others. The mindset of plurality is embedded in the Hindu way of thinking. We can build on this key point as we craft our own version of the Diwali story. Since Hindus themselves have a variety of religious origins to the celebration of Diwali, Christians can bring in a gospel version of Diwali while upholding all the cultural celebrations. The fireworks, lighting clay lamps, sharing food, gathering with friends and family all have a place in the Christian celebration of Diwali. The only difference should be our emphasis on how Diwali points to the identity of Jesus.
