Good story on a social issue
Though it has been quite a few days since the story appeared but it was definitely good story. An important issue. Hindol Sengputa's story (on CNN-IBN)was about vegetarians not allowing non-vegetarians enter their housing societies. The Jains are particularly harsh on Muslims and Christians. Also, lower castes bear the brunt. I really don't understand this self-styled high moral ground taken up by the vegetarians though I have no great love for non-vegetarian. But it is indeed a problem in most North Indian cities. Such 'stings' are also needed because it brings us to face our double standards and the complex society.
