Once upon a time the whole of,what is now Pakistan celebrated the idealogy of Live and let live.There was no exclusions, no hate for humans.No cruelity to animals.All did their own thing,no judgement no critcism was labeled all segments of society celebrated all holidays and festivles..Then came Hatred it creeped multiplied,and the resuls are pain and suffering.Hope fully the next generations will start thinking rationaly,

It is very sad to see that inspite of about 1000 years of them knowing about the true religion, these people still continue to follow pagan practises and invite the wrath of Allah. It is the allure of satan which lets them follow false religions and to follow such corrupt practises to look like demons.

This is the exact mentality which is bombing your muslim brothers and sisters in your own backyard

Beautiful religion. Such celebration inherently has message of tolerance in it. You are letting others throw color at you and you are coloring others. This can only happen if you tolerate other person. Respect for Hindu religion!

As the news of burning of hindu temple at Larkana hurted us , it is amazing to see hindus celebrating holi at Lahore. Pakistanis must realize the feelings of hindus left in Pakistant.

This festival of colors is meant to forget all the enmity and start afresh with the new Basant season. It also marks to victory of good over evil. People celebrate, share sweets. Shouldn't be seen as a Hindu or anti-Muslim stuff.

Nice to see other religions openly celebrating like this in a country where idiots have tried to eliminate them. I'm a muslim, but would love to see a Pakistan where all religions are welcomed and thrive...helping Pakistan prosper.

People should be allowed to celebrate their cultures and religion in the manner they see fit. Religion should not have anything to do with the business of the state and in the eyes of the state all its citizens must be equal and should be afforded the same opportunity and their rights as guaranteed by the constitution be protected at all costs. Only then can a nation prosper.

Holi is not a religious festival it's cultural festival. In India i play Holi with my Muslim friends also.
