Kerala: 'Muhammed' Deepak's Bravery Highlight Enthralls Crowd At Thrithala Regional Festival
Pattambi, Kerala: A Hindu, who bravely stood for a Muslim shop owner and became a national sensation, has been reverberating across the country both online and offline since the Bajrang Dal incident occurred last month in Uttarakhand. Deepak, a gym owner, stole the hearts in the Kotdwar incident, when he defended a Muslim shopkeeper after Bajrang Dal, a hardline Hindu group, tried to harass the elderly Muslim man.
Though the incident happened in Uttarakhand, a regional festival in Kerala’s Palakkad district has raised issues, highlighting Deepak along with the Muslim man, honoring the gym owner’s bravery and intervention to protest secularism and solidarity in the country.
The pictures of Deepak and the Muslim man were found on top of an elephant, with the people riding raising their picture, enthralling the crowd and leaving them in awe and admiration for Deepak’s courageous gesture. The video has been shared on Instagram.
