Now, teachers join row over IIT-Bombay’s ‘veg tables’ policy

The decision to segregate vegetarian students in an IIT-Bombay mess and impose a fine on a student protesting against it has received backlash from teachers. They believe that the fine is disgraceful and that the idea of purity and segregation based on food is a social illness. One professor also argued that government spaces cannot institutionalize segregation, as eating non-vegetarian food is not illegal.
