Why would 'Mysore Pak' upset anyone? That 'Pak' is actually from Sanskrit

Languages can either foster peace and understanding or serve as tools for conflict and division. In India, they are increasingly being weaponised.
For instance, amid tensions with

Pakistan

, some shopkeepers in Jaipur renamed sweets like

Mysore Pak

and Moti Pak to Mysore Shree and Moti Shree, erroneously assuming the word ‘pak’ (meaning ‘sacred’ in Persian) to be of foreign origin. Ironically, in the case of these sweets, ‘pak’ is rooted in the Sanskrit term ‘pakva’ (meaning ‘cooked’), with cognates in several Indian languages, including Kannada.
