Was spared as we changed names and kept mum, says musician after return from violence-hit Bangladesh

Tabla player Mainak Biswas endured an anxious 48-hour delay returning to India from Bangladesh after a mob vandalized a concert venue in Dhaka. Shiraz Ali Khan, the Sarod artiste he was accompanying, escaped earlier, but Biswas and other team members remained stranded amid rising anti-India sentiment. They took precautions to hide their Indian identity to ensure their safe return.
