Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are under fire after choosing the name “Dua” for their newborn daughter, a name rooted in Arabic meaning “prayer.”

Two men who entered a mosque in Karnataka and shouted “Jai Shri Ram” have had criminal charges against them quashed by the Karnataka High Court, which ruled that their actions did not “outrage religious feelings” or disturb public order.

The policy, initially introduced by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has now been adopted by Himachal Pradesh, a state governed by the opposition Congress party.
