There are many different theories of how Diwali started, but here is the one it is thought to be: Krishna (incarnation of Lord Vishnu) killed Narakusara a bad person and this day is known as Diwali. This is the vague outline of it.
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.
Diwali (Festival Of Light) starts on the 13th November 2012 and lasts 5 days. Guy Fawkes Day (bonfire Night) starts on the 5th November and lasts one night.

The date for Diwali is decided upon the Hindu calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon. Diwali falls on the one new moon night (Amavasya) between mid-October and mid-November. Diwali is celebrated for five days according to the lunisolar. It begins in late Ashvin (between September and October) and ends in early Kartika (between October and November). The days in Ashvin are in the Krishna Paksha ("dark fortnight") of that month, while the days in Kartik are in its Shukla Paksha ("bright fortnight"). The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika. Each day of Diwali marks one celebration of the six principal stories associated with the festival.
Diwali is one of the most important Hindu Festival. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha are worshipped on this day. Another important Festival related to Goddess Laskhmi is Mahalakshmi Vrata. On this day fasting is done to seek blessings of Maa Lakshmi, performed by Hindu married women.
It is celebrated in the months of November and sometimes in October and very very rarely in January and March.... Diwali is their one of the main festivals..... It is believed that the day when the demon Narakashura killed by the Lord Krishna, one of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu is celebrated as Diwali (Dheepavali, also as Dheepa-oli) all over the world....... But in families which a member died around 1 year don't celebrate diwali.... Problem solved?
