The debate over eggs versus soya as a source of protein has intensified after the West Bengal government decided to replace eggs with soya and rajma in mid-day meals at schools in Kolkata. While supporters of eggs have taken to social media to argue that eggs are a superior source of protein, advocates of vegetarian diets have countered that soya is equally nutritious.
Amid the heated discussion, one name has repeatedly surfaced on social media: Anil Gochikar , popularly known as the "Bahubali of Puri."
"Meet Pujari of Puri Jagannath Mandir Mr Anil Gochikar, locally known as the Bodyguard of Shree Jagannath Mahaprabhu. He is an international bodybuilder and is completely vegetarian. So you don't need non-veg for protein!" one user wrote on X.
Another user commented, "He is Anil Gochikar, an Odia Brahmin and a servitor of Bhagwan Jagannath. He doesn't eat beef to have this sculpted body."
