The abhorrence of meat, as opposed to the mere refusal to eat it, - TopicsExpress



          

The abhorrence of meat, as opposed to the mere refusal to eat it, stems often from a notion of pollution, which is the bedrock of the caste system itself. So let us skip the merry go-round of the majority and minority and see the move for what it is - the imposition of the values of a particular (and dominant) caste on a group of people. But this is only half the journey. The other half lies in eliminating this easy distinction between various spaces on issues like caste, or for that matter class or gender or race. Agencies that produce/spread knowledge cannot hope to escape scrutiny, especially if they take progressive stands on social issues. This goes for universities too. Swamis argument that The Hindu is a private concern is legally true. As a political argument, it is as close to bullcrap as it gets. beta.bodhicommons.org/article/meat-in-the-hindu-canteen-and-other-dreams?fb_action_ids=10152340286460609&fb_action_types=og.likes
