You don't look Hindu: Indian scientist denied entry to garba in US
Indian-origin astrophysicist, Dr Karan Jani, has claimed he and his friends were denied entry to a garba event in the US on grounds that they don't "look Hindu" and the surname on their IDs doesn't "sound Hindu". Jani added that when one of his friends said she was "Kannada-Marathi", she was told, "What is Kannada? You are Ismaili."
