India is still in shock after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Twenty-six innocent people were killed, most of them Hindu pilgrims. As the nation mourns, anger is rising—sometimes in the wrong direction.
In Hyderabad, protests have erupted against Karachi Bakery. The reason? Its name.

This 73-year-old bakery was founded in 1953 by Khanchand Ramnani, a Sindhi Hindu who fled from Karachi during the Partition. Since then, it has become a proud symbol of Indian resilience and unity. But now, some radical groups are targeting it, falsely claiming it has ties to Pakistan.
The bakery has responded with dignity. Signs at its stores now read: “Karachi Bakery is a 100% Indian brand founded in Hyderabad. We are Indians. Our name is part of our history, not our nationality.”

But the protests continue.
The outrage comes in the wake of national anger against Pakistan. The April 22 massacre is believed to be carried out by The Resistance Front; a terror group linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. In response, the Indian government has taken strong actions—cutting trade ties, freezing the Indus Waters Treaty, and ramping up security.

But some people have taken their anger too far. Targeting Indian businesses with Pakistani-sounding names is not patriotism—it’s ignorance.
This isn’t the first time Karachi Bakery has faced such hate. Every time tensions rise with Pakistan, this Indian-run bakery becomes a punching bag.
The truth is simple. Karachi was once part of undivided India. Many proud Indians, like the Ramnani family, still carry that name with pride.
The real enemy is across the border—not behind the counter of a bakery that has served India for decades.
