There are designated rest breaks in those long drives. They could have completed their Namaz during those if they wanted, like everyone else. Muslims have leeway of time during situations like these, those two were very likely just entitled. Stopping an entire bus is not justified.

Source? Because my personal experience says otherwise.

Do you have any reason to think so, or are you just wildly speculating? You don’t even know if they made a fuss, or just very nicely asked if the driver could align the rest break with their prayer time.
Really? A bus you were on didn’t stop once in a 5-hour drive in your experience?
My reason to think so is Occam’s Razor. Asshole passengers are much, much more probable than an official abruptly deciding to fire a bus conductor just because he stopped the bus for a Muslim’s prayers. It’s idiotic and only people who have never truly lived in India can make such assertions.

That’s not what I said. I said the driver has discretion over where and when to stop during the drive. You’re the one claiming otherwise.
So you pulled it out of your ass, got it. I love how you dispute the article on the basis of ‘it’s more probable’. Who cares about facts, eh?
That’s funny, seeing as the article was written by Indians.
