In recent weeks, a policy introduced by the administration in India’s most populated state, Uttar Pradesh, has sparked fear among Muslim workers. The policy makes it compulsory for eateries and restaurants to publicly display the names of their employees.

Recently, another Himalayan state, Himachal Pradesh, announced it would adopt a similar policy to enhance safety standards and health concerns. With the growing fear of such policies, many business owners in Uttar Pradesh reported job cuts for Muslim employees.
