Sudha Murthy Food Controversy: How being vegetarian “casteist”?

Sudha Murthy Food Controversy: Oh, the woes of the left liberals! It seems they have run out of real issues to ponder upon and are now indulging in a rather bizarre tirade over pure vegetarianism. Yes, you heard it right! Being a pure vegetarian is now “casteist,” according to the ever-enlightened intellectuals emanating from Khan Market and Delhi Press Club.

The conversation that led to a meltdown!

In a recent chat show hosted by the esteemed food journalist Kunal Vijayakar, the legendary Sudha Murty shared her thoughts on her dietary preferences. The horror! She proclaimed, “I am a pure vegetarian; I don’t even eat eggs or garlic. What I am scared of is that the same spoon might be used for both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. It weighs heavily on my mind a lot! So, whenever we go out, I only search for vegetarian restaurants. Or, I carry one bag full of food items.”

Now, if you thought this was just a conversation about maintaining pure vegetarianism and a code of conduct, you are sadly mistaken! The ever-vigilant left-liberals were quick to unleash their wrath, connecting Sudha Murty’s food preferences with her caste. Yes, apparently, being a Brahmin and proudly owning up to her vegetarian choices is now a grave sin!

Sudha Murthy Food Controversy: “How Dare You?”

Asia Editor at The Independent, Rituparna Chatterjee, in all her wisdom, took to Twitter to claim that Sudha Murty and her husband Narayan Murthy sound “weirder and casteist” as they speak more. Because, obviously, being pure vegetarians must mean they are plotting some grand caste conspiracy, right?

They say if you want to know about a person, let them speak. The more this couple speaks, the more weird and casteist they sound. https://t.co/rcjuQ3kri0

To add fuel to the fire, one internet warrior even suggested that Sudha Murty should stay away from her own son-in-law, daughter, and their kids just because they were holding some non-veg food items. Oh, the horror! It’s almost as if the mere sight of non-veg food could summon an apocalypse of casteism!

But wait, Sudha Murthy Food Controversy gets better! The same left-liberals who condemn pure vegetarianism as casteist are the ones supporting Halal certification of food items. The irony is palpable! For those unaware, Halal certification discriminates against non-Muslims, imposing religious connotations on ‘non-believers.’ But hey, that’s totally cool, right? Being a “pure vegetarian” is the real threat here!

Noted storyteller and journalist Neelesh Misra couldn’t resist poking fun at the absurdity of it all. He rightly wondered how being vegetarian or carrying your own cutlery makes one casteist. Oh, the audacity of logic!

Um, how is this casteist?
I am vegetarian. When I dine my friends ensure that the serving spoon used for my food isn’t used for non veg food. Non vegetarians might not understand this but it is so.
If she wants to take her own cutlery as well, fair enough, what’s wrong in that? https://t.co/EMzcdR7vcl

Heights of Hypocrisy!

The left liberals’ priorities are truly commendable. Instead of contemplating over real issues like overpopulation, radicalism, or ensuring a sustainable future, they’d rather expend their energy on how the oxygen taken in by vegetarians is harming the world. It’s almost as if they’ve mastered the art of creating problems out of thin air!

So, there you have it, folks! The pure vegetarian controversy, brought to you by the left liberals’ penchant for finding issues where none exist. Let’s all take a moment to ponder the dire consequences of a spoon being used for both veg and non-veg food. It’s surely the end of the world as we know it! But hey, let’s not get distracted by trivial matters like global issues or genuine causes; the purity of our dietary choices is what truly matters in the grand scheme of things.
