India-Pakistan Tensions Fallout: Protesters Target Hyderabad's Karachi Bakery, Demand Name Change
As per the Indian Express report, videos circulating on social media showed a group of individuals wearing saffron scarves entering a Karachi Bakery outlet, demanding a change in its name. The protestors, seen holding the national flag, gathered outside the Shamshabad branch and reportedly attempted to damage the nameboard using sticks. However, no significant harm was caused to the property or the staff.
The vandalism of Karachi Bakery in Hyderabad by miscreants is a deplorable act of ignorance and incivility. The bakery, owned by the Khanchand Ramnani family, Sindhi Hindus who migrated to India post-Partition in 1947, is a symbol of resilience and heritage unjustly targeted. pic.twitter.com/wj2zorJQMq — Āryā_Anvikṣā (@Arya_Anviksha_) May 11, 2025
In the viral videos, police were seen present as protesters continued to target the bakery's signboard. Officials later confirmed that the crowd was dispersed shortly after the incident. The owners of Karachi Bakery, Rajesh and Harish Ramnani, stated that the brand is a '100 per cent Indian brand,' established in 1953 by their grandfather Khanchand Ramnani after he migrated to India during the Partition.
'We request the Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and senior officers of administration to support to prevent any change in the name. People are putting up tricolour in the outlets of the bakery across the city. Kindly support us as we are an Indian brand and not a Pakistani brand.'
The bakery chain had previously come under fire in 2019 following the Pulwama terror attack, which killed 40 CRPF personnel. At the time, protesters had entered its Indiranagar outlet in Bengaluru, calling for a change in the bakery's name.

NCERT introduces two supplementary modules on Operation Sindoor for Class 3 to Class 12
The National Council of Educational Research and Training on Tuesday introduced two new supplementary modules on Operation Sindoor for students from Class 3 to Class 12, The Indian Express reported. These modules are not part of the standard textbooks but are meant to be used as additional resources. The NCERT is an educational body that advises the Union government on school syllabi. The modules claim that the terror attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam was 'directly ordered by Pakistan's military and political leadership', which in turn prompted the Indian Armed forces to launch Operation Sindoor. The modules further add that the Indian Air Force 'took out command and control centres, radars, surface-to-air guided weapons, runways, and hangars with aircraft' during Operation Sindoor, breaching Pakistan's air defence and 'creating visible gaps that the world saw'. The passages also note that the name 'Operation Sindoor' was given as a mark of respect for the widows of those killed in the April 22 terror attack, ANI reported. The two modules are titled 'Operation Sindoor - A Saga of Valour' for students in Class 3 to Class 8 and 'Operation Sindoor - A Mission of Honour and Bravery' for students in Class 9 to Class 12. In May, the Uttarakhand Madarsa Education Board had said that it would include Operation Sindoor in the state's madrasa curriculum. Tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated on May 7 when the Indian military carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed in the shelling. India and Pakistan on May 10 reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following the four-day conflict.

NCERT Introduces Operation Sindoor in School Curriculum for Classes 3–12
The NCERT has added new study material on Operation Sindoor for students from Classes 3 to 12. For Classes 3 to 8, the module is called 'Operation Sindoor – A Saga of Valour.' For Classes 9 to 12, it is called 'Operation Sindoor – A Mission of Honour and Bravery.' The modules explain that the Pahalgam terror attack was planned with support from Pakistan. In reply, on May 7, 2025, India launched missile and air strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK. Out of nine selected targets, seven camps were destroyed by the Army, while the Air Force hit major bases in Muridke and Bahawalpur linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. The lessons highlight that only terror sites were attacked and that India showed it would not allow terrorists to escape punishment.

'India's Strikes, Not Trump': Tharoor Backs India's Stance On Ceasefire With Pakistan At the launch of the book 'Whither India-Pakistan Relations Today? Can They Ever Be Good Neighbours?', Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praised Operation Sindoor, calling it a decisive response to cross-border terror. He said India's strikes—"not Mr. Trump"—prompted Pakistan to request a ceasefire in May. Tharoor revealed he had written an op-ed days after the Pahalgam attack suggesting such action, and expressed surprise that the government followed the same course. He said India's interception of missiles aimed at Delhi on May 10 showed strength. With Balakot and now Sindoor, Tharoor said India has shown it won't tolerate terror on its soil. 6.7K views | 5 hours ago
