Topic: Karachi Bakery

Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vandalised a branch of the well-known Karachi Bakery in Hyderabad on Saturday, demanding that the chain of Indian retail bakeries change its name.

Karachi Bakery, a popular eatery in Visakhapatnam, has come under attack by a Hindutva group, demanding that it change its name due to its association with Karachi, a city in Pakistan, amid rising India-Pakistan tensions following the recent horrific attack in Pahalgam.

Such little memories are today paying the price of majoritarian nationalism. Karachi Bakery is the name borne across the border by a refugee, seeking refuge in today’s hyper-nationalist India.
