Sikhs festival is actually NT Diwali.they celebrete it only for enjoyin...no purpose is there to celeberate Diwali for Sikhs.they do not learn any thing.coz its NT Sikhs festival at all.....its jst 4 entertainment.
Sikh children learn that guru hargobind singh ji were imprisonesed with 52 kings on diwali, and its a day of happiness
the similarities are that in both festival candels and diyas are use. Diwali is celebrate by hindusms people while Christmas is celebrate by Cristian people
Diwali was when the 6th guru, guru hargobind sahib, freed i believe 36 men from the mugal emperor of that time. in that happiness, Diwali is celebrated.
sikh people celebrate Diwali because of the release of Guru Hargobind and the 52 princes who were imprisoned on that day. then you tell me, why do christen and other religions celebrate new year for only one day? look chinese (peoples from china) they celebrate it for 2 weeks.
hindus celebrate divali because rama and sita came back and Sikh celebrate divali because hargobind singh ji the 6th guru came back from jail Sikh celebrate divali by lighting candles @ the gurdwara and Hindu light lamps @ home

For Sikhs, Diwali is important because it celebrates the release from prison of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind Ji.Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepawali, popularly known as the "festival of lights".
Sikhs do not celebrate Diwali but celebrations take place at this time as Diwali coincides with the Sikh celebration of Bandi Chor Divas This coincidence has resulted in similarity of celebrations amongst Sikhs and Hindus. Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chor Divas to mark the return of the Sixth Guru,Sri Guru Hargobind Ji, who was freed from imprisonment and also managed to release 52 Hindu Kings (political prisoners) at the same time from the famous fort of Gwalior by Emperor Jahangir in October, 1619. And so the Kings/rajahs were freed and the Guru became known popularly as the "Bandi Chor" (Deliverer from prison). He arrived at Amritsar on the Diwali day and the HarMandar (also known as the "Golden Temple") was lit with hundreds of lamps to celebrate his return and hence the day came to be known as the "Bandi Chhor Divas" (the day of freedom).
