The calm in Uttarakhand's Pauri Garhwal broke when Bajrang Dal members heckled and threatened a 70-year-old Muslim shopkeeper over using ‘Baba’ in his shop's name. A man stood up to the mob, and when asked his name, replied: "Mera naam Mohammad Deepak" (My name is Mohammad Deepak). While his act won many hearts online, he is facing brickbats back home. Indian Express spoke to the man about what made him stand up to the crowd, and does he regret anything.

#WATCH | Kotdwar, Pauri Garhwal (Uttarakhand) | Gym Trainer Deepak Kumar says, "My friends and I were celebrating Republic Day when we went to one of our friends' shops. Some boys came to the shop and started misbehaving with the shopkeeper over the shop's name. I asked them to stop misbehaving, but they replied that in their religion, the word "Baba" is only used for Sidhbali Baba, and for no one else, and that the shopkeeper would have to change the shop's name. The shopkeeper refused, and the argument escalated into a Hindu-Muslim issue. The boys were from the Bajrang Dal, and the shop belonged to a Muslim. So I said, "My name is Mohammed Deepak, what's it to you?..." I don't understand why a case was filed against me when the entire fight was started by the other side. We don't support any political party, but rather an ideology. Hanuman is an ideal for every gym member because he inspires hard work. (02.02)

When a British court asked Udham Singh his name after he avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, he declared: “Ram Mohammad Singh Azad.” Today, those echoes of secular resistance resonate through Deepak Kumar of Kotdwar, who stood before a mob and proudly said, “Mohammad Deepak.” As divisive forces threaten our social fabric, Deepak’s courage in shielding an elderly Muslim shopkeeper embodies the hope India needs. His act is a living testament to the Fraternity and Equality enshrined in our Constitution. As a Member of Parliament, it is my bounden duty to uphold the Constitution and stand with those who live its values. I traveled to Kotdwar to convey Kerala’s solidarity to Deepak, his friend Vijay, and his brave mother. And of course the victim , Baba Mohammed. In their resilience against a mob of over 150, we see a ray of hope … #mohammaddeepak #kotdwar

A Muslim man was operating his shop named "Khalsa Dairy" in Uttarakhand. Bajrang Dal reached there and told him to remove the signboard and put up a new one with his real identity. Why use a sacred Sikh name for your shop?

Deepak, who fearlessly protected a Muslim shopkeeper from a violent Bajrang Dal mob, showed the kind of bravery our society needs. Our group of friends wants to honor him. If anyone can share his contact, please do, we want to personally present him a token of appreciation. Bravery like this must be celebrated.
