i not 100% sure but most of the hindu religious festivals are based on the lunar calendar ( lent is the only christian one i think that works wit d lunar everything is solar) and it is easy to make a mistake in calculations...so maybe that's why they alone celebrating it??

Just some points for consideration:

Hinduism does not explicitly prohibit eating meat, but it does strongly recommend ahimsa – the concept of non-violence against all life forms including animals. As a consequence, many Hindus prefer a vegetarian lifestyle, because they believe that it minimizes hurting other life forms.

The Vedic texts have conflicting verses with some suggesting ritual slaughter and meat consumption, while others suggesting a taboo on meat eating. The Upanishads and Sutra texts of Hinduism discuss moderate diet and proper nutrition. The Upanishads and Sutra texts invoke the concept of virtuous self-restraint in matters of food.

The Bhagavad Gita includes verses on diet and moderation in food in Chapter 6. It states in verse 6.16 that a Yogi must neither eat too much nor too little, neither sleep too much nor too little. Understanding and regulating one’s established habits about eating, sleeping and recreation is suggested as essential to the practice of yoga in verse 6.17.

At the end of the day whatever your religious persuasion/beliefs , its your life's journey however you choose to fulfill it.
