A rumour circulating on Indian social media that Dubai's ruler named a district 'Hind City' to honour Indians and Hindus is incorrect Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum named the district after his wife Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum, the government said
After Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum renamed a district"Hind City", social media posts in Hindu-majority India falsely claimed the move was to honour India and Hindus. The Dubai government's media office told AFP that the sheikh renamed the district in honour of his wife, Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum.
"Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, has ordered that a district in the emirate, 'Al Minhad', be renamed 'Hind City'," reads a Hindi-languageThe sheikh"says Al Minhad and its surrounding 84 square kilometre area will now be known as 'Hind City' to honour the contribution of India and Hindus towards humanity".
"Perhaps today supporters of Pakistan living in India also will not be able to sleep peacefully," the post reads, appearing to refer to people critical of the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
