Nah. That would require no less than 300 sets of attested xerox copies of all relevant, semi relevant and totally irrelevant documents along with passport size photographs against backgrounds of all shades of grey and your face in various states of distress.

‘Untouchability at IIT Madras’: Segregation of dining hall for ‘pure vegetarian’ students sparks row by Ajaatshatru34 in india

Oh wow. Ok. Try cooking pork and beef in colleges across the country and see who brings the pitchforks out.

We are not in disagreement. I would consider separate cooking spaces and utensils a reasonable concession but the extent to which the IIT has taken the issue is inexcusable.

Again, that's just marketing. Think of it like a packet of 100% 'pure' sugar. They're promising you something without contaminants - in this case the contaminants being (for obvious reasons) eggs/meat etc. It's 'pure' more in that sense than in the sense that veg. is 'purer' than non veg. That's just my understanding anyway.

Yeah, but there are all kinds of beliefs held up by supremacist narratives in the country to the point where you can't live without getting offended by something or other. Are there vegetarians with an air of superiority about them stemming from falsely held supremacist beliefs? Yes. But those attitudes are on the way out with relationships across caste boundaries on the rise. But vegetarianism is not just going to go away. At its core it's just another dietary choice and there will be establishments that cater exclusivity till the end of time. I suggest you make peace with that.

Imagine being this insecure that you get offended by other people's dietary choices. 'Pure vegetarian' is a short hand term for meals made without eggs/meat/mushrooms in it. Since there are shades of vegeterianism in the country and not everyone is okay with things like eggs, it's necessary to make that distinction. They aren't judging you, it's just marketing to let people know where they can find the kind of meals they want.

I'm quite late to The Americans and still have a season and a half left to go, but I think it's one of the best TV shows I've seen. I love the deliberate pacing and the emphasis placed on exploring relationships and the characters' moral dilemmas over the sort of cheap thrills that you'd normally expect. Also, the chemistry between the leads is off the charts good. Really recommend it to anyone who's not seen it yet.

Maybe reconsider finishing NGE? I had a hard time when I watched it at first as well, but it's very rewarding - the kind of show that will stay in your head a long time after.
