On 26 January 2026, an incident from Kotdwar, Uttarakhand sparked nationwide discussion.
A 70-year-old Muslim shopkeeper, Vakeel Ahmed, was allegedly pressured to change the name of his 30-year-old shop, “Baba School Dress,” after objections were raised over the use of the word “Baba.”
During the confrontation, local gym trainer Deepak Kumar intervened and questioned why a decades-old shop name was suddenly being challenged. When asked his name by the crowd, he replied,
“My name is Mohammad Deepak,”
to emphasize unity, humanity, and equal rights.
The video later went viral on social media. Following this, protests were reported outside Deepak Kumar’s residence, leading to police intervention. A complaint has since been filed, and the matter remains under discussion.
This incident raises a larger question:
Are law and dignity truly equal for everyone?
