That's something that really really needs to be in the OP.
Think about how the typical reader here will take it. They see a thread about a guy complaining/worrying about a majority white (since the West is still majority white) corporate sending out a Happy Diwali email and--since we're in the West--they're going to think it's something coming from wokeists (which are majority white women) or normies who see which way the cultural winds appear to be blowing in HR and/or corporate and send something out so as to not appear uninclusive.
The mention of "Oh by the way the company is 70% Indian including the CEO and founding partner" completely changes things
Edit:
And, I just read your comment about what the ceo said about Merry Christmas letters, again, really should've been in the OP if you wanted people to fully get what you are trying to convey. That said, I probably wouldn't send the email, especially this far out. It sounds like it'd come off as passive-aggressive, not to mention that passive-aggression would only be accentuated by sending it when November only just started. Personally, I wouldn't send it at all. But I'd definitely keep a record of their email; maybe it'd be handy if for whatever reason saying "Merry Christmas" to coworkers leads to some sort of retaliation later on. Not sure how useful it'd be but keeping records of everything is always a good practice for a rainy day in my opinion.
Me personally..I'd say about a 40%-50% chance I say Merry Christmas to coworkers when it's finally apropo. Agreed that the erasure of the holiday is sad to see unfolding. I'm fortunate to live in the Bible Belt so "Merry Christmas!" is still alive and thriving.
