Holi was and IS a Hindu festival.
And Jahangir did NOT celebrate Holi.
In your article, you conflated Holi with a Persian festival that Mughals celebrated: Eid-I-Gulabi or Ab-e-Pashi.
This festival had NOTHING to do with Holi.
This was originally a Zoroastrian rain festival dedicated to Zoroastrian rain deity Tishtrya (Tir) celebrated by Persians. Muslims appropriated this festival and rededicated it to Khawaja Khizr. Unlike Holi, It was celebrated in the rainy month of Tir (June-July).
Here is how they really celebrated it.
1757: Abdali's son played Holi in Mathura . With Hindu blood.
He ordered a massacre of Hindus. Streets were drowned in rivulets of blood. Hindu Murtis were broken and trampled.
Sadhus and cows were killΞ΅d.
Severed heads were put up on display.
Even today, locals of Chittor remember this Holi.
As a result, a mob assembled near mosque and was joined by Afghan soldiers who looted houses of Hindus and set the shops on fire.
Holi procession passed before Mosque and that was enough for the peaceful to be provoked. It led to riots.
