dhArmika bhAratIya new year always begins only and only with chaitra shukla pratipradA which observes the vernal solistice and its in all bhAratIya paNchANga~s be it vikramI, shaka/shAlivAhana, vaNga or tamil. Calculation of chaitra varies by a few days in various calendars of ours though, but the new year always falls between 21 March to 15 April of Christian calendar taking into account the lunisolar movements.
Due to erosion of our values only moneymaking and gatekeeping/accounting it for money-magnates is the supreme thing now. Per se nothing wrong with money and its most necessary too for all and one, but this scenario is sickening which has now even hijacked our dharma through religious & cultural traditions. We ought to celebrate deepavaaly with joy & grandeur but its idiotic of any Hindu to think(due to any great reason) that our new year starts with it.
Even normal households write शुभ लाभ (auspicious profit/gain; btw there's no market inside a home!) on their premises mimicking the traders and of late due to business & banking taking supreme position in our sociopolitical Psyche its not surprising that HINOs and even seemingly devout Astika~s/Hindus idiotically think dIpAvalI as the new year whence its only the new year for financial transactions which too gained ascendancy only much later in our history.
Diwali/Deepaavaly is not Indian new year. Period.
