A café in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, has recently found itself at the center of a major controversy, and not for any of the usual reasons cafes tend to go viral. A video clip has surfaced online, spreading rapidly across social media platforms, allegedly capturing a conversation between a group of friends and the café’s owner. The group, believed to be students from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur, claimed they were refused entry into the establishment solely because they were Indian.
The students were reportedly denied entry on the grounds of their nationality. The conversation in the clip features the café owner allegedly asserting that only foreigners were welcome at the premises, explicitly stating, “Only foreigners allowed, not Indians.” Despite repeated questioning and clear disbelief from the students, the owner stood by the statement, further adding that this was the café’s internal policy and not something that required justification or outside interference, according to media reports.
The café in question has been identified in the viral posts as Dylan’s Café, with the owner named as Bhakhar Khan. The moment the video hit the internet, it drew massive backlash from netizens across various platforms. Outraged users have taken to social media to express anger over what is being called blatant discrimination. Instagram and Reddit have been flooded with comments condemning the incident and demanding accountability.
The original post containing the video was shared by the Instagram handle ‘indian.now’, and within a day, it amassed a large number of views and interactions. The caption in the post summarizes the situation: “An incident at Dylan’s Café in Jodhpur has stirred controversy after IIT Jodhpur students alleged they were denied entry by the café’s owner, Bhakhar Khan. The students claim they were told, ‘Only foreigners allowed, not Indians,’ leading to accusations of discrimination.”
Despite the escalating public outrage, neither Bhakhar Khan nor the management of Dylan’s Café has issued an official statement regarding the allegations. Additionally, the media outlet that first reported the incident has noted that it has yet to independently verify the details or the authenticity of the clip being circulated.
The lack of response from the café has only intensified the criticism, with many demanding clarification and accountability. The issue continues to dominate discussions online, sparking debates not just about racism but also about how deeply such attitudes may be embedded in parts of the hospitality industry. Whether the claims are eventually proven accurate or not, the incident has already ignited a broader conversation about discrimination, identity, and the treatment of locals in their own country.
