The story is from Krisna and Radhe. He was the black one. And Radhe was much lighter. He asked his mother why he was so black. It's because you are Krishna his mum tells him. So his mother suggested that he add colour to Radhes face with paint 🎨. Hence the festival of colour

It was originally celebrated with water that finally we get to touch or go into the water due to summer arrival Later on people started adding color to the water to make it colorful and now Water has completely gone. Only color powder has left.

We are not hindu we are sanatani It means an ancient culture It is not religion. Religion means you have to do certain things in a culture. In our culture is your choice if you want to follow our culture or not There is no force applied to you that you have to do certain things It can be your own choice, so it is not religion

That is debatable. Hindus like to say that hinduism in not a religion but a "lifestyle" or "culture". But any way you look at it... its is a religion... one of the oldest in the world.... and many other religion like buddhism and jainism spring from hinduism.

Holika like anyone else wasn’t naturally fire retardent hahaha she had a special cloak/chunni that was fire proof and she wore that and sat in the fire with prahlad. Vishnu ensured that the cloak shifted from her to Prahlad and that’s how he was saved and she burned alive.
