Sikhs celebrate Diwali in remembrance of the 6th Guru, Guru Har Gobind Sahib ji, This was the day he was released from prisons along with 52 Hindu princes. When e was told that was going to be released he told the guard that he would only go if the 52 princes were released aswell.. Then the guard told him that anyone that could hold guru hargobind sahibs robe would be realses therefore guru hargobind attached 52 ropes to his robe and saved the Hindu princes.
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.
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
