Halloween is a popular holiday in many countries, where people dress up, decorate their homes in spooky themes, and trick or treat. Despite the popularity in countries like the United States, there are a number of places around the world that do not celebrate the holiday. India is one of them.

There are many reasons why Indians and those that live in India do not celebrate. One reason is that the culture of India permits people to speak to strangers. When it comes to trick or to treat, the trick or treater goes to people's homes and knocks on their door, stranger or not. Another reason is that some Indians are not amused by the idea of dressing up as a character.

Halloween cannot be celebrated in India because of different reasons. First of all, trick or treat will require kids to go to random houses to ask for candy. The culture of India will not permit this, especially since they are not recommended to talk to strangers. A lot of Indians also feel that Halloween is too fancy for them. They are usually more focused on trying to do well in school so that they can reach the professions that they want.

Dressing up in different characters is not something that they may find amusing. There are also other things that India may focus on. They have their own festivals that they are always proud to celebrate. Those are just some of the reasons why India does not celebrate Halloween.
