Historical evolution of holidays in Pakistan
In early years of its independence, people in Pakistan used to observe many multi faith holidays such as Holi, Diwali, Christmas, etc. However, as the population of minority religions dropped - from about 14% in 1947 to 3.52% in 2017, the number of multiple-faith holidays also dropped. The main cause of the decline of the population minorities is the separation of Bangladesh, where the ratio of the non-Muslim to the total populace was high.
