Sheer Khurma, Firni, Kheer …
How this Eid got name of ‘Meethi Eid’? is it just sub-continent, where sweet dishes are main menu of the Eid or every where in Muslim world its about meetha / mithai?

Re: Kuch Meetha Ho jae!
Sweets are quite common for Eid in our culture as well. They're not the main menu items but they are definitely more present on the Eid menu than at regular meals. There are usually 5-6 sweet dishes during Eid, whereas for regular meals it's usually just one dessert dish.

Some of these things would be inter twined, after all Islam came into Pakistan (mostly through Afghanistan)...barring Sindh (Muhammad bin Qasim).
Re: Kuch Meetha Ho jae!
Sindh’s Islam also got influence from Afghanistan, as Shahbaz Qalandar belonged to Afghanistan.
But Deewali’s halwa and Shab Barat’s halwa says something else.

Blend of both Sub continent and Central asia.

Yes, I've heard people call it that but most people call it Kochnai Akhtar (کوچنی اختر), which means "the lesser feast" in Pashto.

Re: Kuch Meetha Ho jae!
I’m sure there can be two answers to the question whether halwa is originally a Turkish or Arabic dish, but the whole practice of distributing halva to mark religious celebrations, ritual mourning of saints or deceased was part of traditional Turkish culture. The point is explained very well by Sami Zubaida in his book *Sherbet and Spice: The Complete Story of Turkish Sweets and Desserts. *It’s a fascinating book, very well researched. I reckon you’ll enjoy reading it.

^Interestingly, this Eid is referred to as Şeker Bayramı in Turkey, which translates to "the sugar feast" as sweets are quite prominent on the Eid menu.
