“Why force a non-vegetarian to eat in a vegetarian-only canteen using technicalities?” This is what a student of the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad asked the management in a recent discussion on vegetarian canteens in the IIT hostel.
A trail of emails accessed by The News Minute showed a raging debate among students after the IIT-H administration said it was planning to introduce a vegetarian-only dining hall in the coming semester. This comes at a time IIT-Bombay is facing allegations of caste discrimination after some students reserved a section of its mess dining hall for vegetarians.
