According to the Tribune News of Bahrain, the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority (BTEA) shut down a restaurant after a manager refused entry to a woman wearing a hijab. Bahrain’s authorities took notice of the incident after a video of a woman explaining what had happened at the restaurant circulated on social media. Lanterns Lounge & Restaurant issued a public statement on their Facebook page stating that the manager’s behavior was unacceptable and he had been suspended. The Deccan Herald, a Karnataka-based news agency, reported that the manager who blocked the woman was of Indian descent and he had been suspended indefinitely. In India, persecution of Muslim minorities has become an increasingly normalized in public life. Currently, India is grappling with controversies surronding female Muslim students wearing the hijab in government run schools, and many people believed that this discriminatory incident was a reflection of this anti-hijab attitude making its way beyond India’s borders. However, the Independent UK, in an update to their article regarding the incident, said the manager was British and not Indian. This did not stop people from throwing harsh criticisms against the supposed Indian identity of the manager.
