I know my reply may offend some Indian member and I suppose Pakistani member dont drive crazy that I supported them I am just telling you I watched closely becasue I am in WB from birth.
It is quiet true that some Muslim took Hindus nick here once upon a time Maybe common now in small village but not in real CALCUTTA. But the reason is only one. Old Hindus of conservative thinking in the very small town & village just have fear of beef by Muslims so they dont want to eat in small dhaba, road side small hotel etc which is run by muslim and muslim are working. Some Pakistani member may ask question again what is problem with Muslim Employee? Answer is smiple Muslim eat Beef and if he had beef as his personal food for lunch or dinner and working same time in dhabas if somehow dhabas food get contaminated or he just doesnt have perfectly clean after food before touching restaurant food. Just they want to keep away from beef at all.
Its my personal experience. I am from very small town where my uncle runs a food stall and the cook was Muslim named Sirazuddin and uncle called him Raju. We all knew his religion and we dont have problem just he was called by that name that he some of the customer dont get offended by his name when someone called his name suddenly. We all nearby know this facts but as we know not everyone is equal in any Religion. Everywhere is Good and Bad. Every where is bold and conservative. Some dhabas and hotels are still named with Bla.. bla bla Hindu Hotel/ Bla... bla Punjabi Hotel and Bla... bla Muslim Hotel (Beef/No Beef). Now scene changed with time. Perhaps WB is the most open minded people state. Caste system is already gone away too far long time ago. Inter caste marriage is very common. Inter religion marry Hindu-Muslim, hindu-Christian marriage you will also fine in this state more than other state of India. WB has created an example of disolving caste system in India.
On the point: There is some problem of name changing as you saw post of OP. Its not because of fear its just because of the problem I told you. I asked Pakistani member "can you gurantee of each muslim of Pakistan who know that a certain hotel Hindu employee eat P0RK daily and serve your meals?"
Its a fact no one can Guarantee it but its also fact that Hotel owner would not want to lose few of that conservative Muslim customer.
I hope I didnt offended anyone. And dont take me wrong and say I am in wrong flag or whatever. I believe everyone is equal. Just this religious type things just separate us else we all are human.
Nothing offensive in telling the truth. One of my friend even told irani chai(in hyderabad) tastes different because they use cow bones or fat (I dont remember). Although he wont stop himself from drinking the tea.
