I am not a hindu but I try an answer!

1. Why Hindus drink bung(some kind of alcohol) on the occasion of Hindus festival, Holi?

Well maybe too get drunk quicker, or they are only allowed to drink that on that occasion.

2. What's the importance of Holi festival?
To have fun, meet the opposite sex, or for some to meet the same sex.

3. Why Hindus pump colors on each other?

maybe bcos it is fun,
it looks pretty. maybe to get their own back at someone without hurting someone.

actually it's bhang, and it's made from canabis leaves. not alcohol. We all kno what canabis is

And for the color it's a symbol that everyone is equal.

What is holi ?
No one knows.One guy say this and another guy say that .Nobody is sure.Any way they celevrate.

Jesus said,
"I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."John; 8:12

What? If you are not sure, it's your problem and your ignorance and what is celevrate?

In another thread on Holi, someone has already explained but you are in love with Ignorance, you will never divorce it.

Bhaang is prepared by grounding the buds and leaves of Cannabis using a mortar and pestle into a green paste. It is mixed with milk, ghee, and spices to prepare a nutritious, refreshing drink known as Thandai, which is intoxicating in nature.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 liter - Water
• 1 1/2 cups - Sugar
• 1 cup - Milk
• 1 tbsp - Almonds
• 1 tbsp - Watermelon/Cantaloupe seeds (dried and skinned)
• 1/2 tbsp - Poppy seeds
• 1/2 tbsp - Aniseed
• 1/2 tsp - Cardamom powder
• 1 tsp - Peppercorns (whole)
• 1/4 cup - Dried or fresh rose petals (Gulkand variety)

Method:

• Soak sugar in 1/2 liter of water and all other dry ingredients in 2 cups of water for at least 2 hours.
• Grind all soaked ingredients (not sugar) to a very fine paste.
• Mix remaining water to the paste and strain it using a strong muslin strainer to extract the liquid into a vessel until the residue becomes dry.
• Add milk and sugar to the extracted liquid.
• Mix the cardamom powder in the milk.
• Chill for an hour of two before serving.
• Makes about 8 glasses.

If you still don't know what Bhang is, it's marijuana. Also it's tradition and not religious persay. It's like drinking on July 4th, New years, and Christmas. It's not the ritual that counts but the state of spirit one is resonating.

Whatever is behind the celebration it looks like everyone is having a good time.
