Genereally a festival in india is celebrated to feel the victory of good over evil... so when you have to celebrate such a victory, there is no hard and fast rule and neither can any body put any restriction or objection to any such joyous celebration. it in no way emphasis any thing wrong... it is a way to show the happiness of being triumphant over a particular evil force or demon, and it show us the righteous path that we should follow the discipline that we should follow in life. it brings closeness between human... near and dear...to all those who dont know there are lot of charity and other kind of finalcial help is rendered for poor by many. we insted of only criticizing, can indulge of some good deeds as we celebrate.... Happy Diwali!
