'Apartheid' fury in India over new rule that stall holders must post up their names

Putting your name to something is hardly apartheid

The chief minister of India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, backed a plan on Friday requiring restaurants and roadside eateries to display the names of their owners.

Yogi Adityanath, a saffron-robed Hindu monk who heads the northern Indian state, said the order would be enforced along a route taken by thousands of Hindu pilgrims during the holy month of Shravan every year.

Local media quoted an order from the chief minister's office asserting that the measure was intended to maintain the 'purity of the faith' of the pilgrims, known as "kanwarias."

Devotees must follow dietary restrictions, such as no meat, during their journey - a practice that has been cited by police officers to justify the directions given.

The restaurant order has since drawn sharp criticism, with critics condemning it as an act of religious apartheid.
