Do eateries need to promote being #pureveg and, by doing so, do they uphold #casteist ideas and practices? Or is the word “pure” most likely just a replacement for the word “only”? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.
On January 16, 2023, Twitter user @hoopoe_is_here tweeted that the term “pure veg” used by food outlets to describe the type of cuisine they offer is both “offensive” and “un-inclusive.”
She elaborated that to classify one type of food preference as “pure” carried the implication that other types of food preferences are “impure.”This implication, in turn, legitimises “the discrimination against people with diverse preferences.”

One of the many things that never ceases to #amaze & #amuse me:

Nepalis countering/characterizing/interpreting commentary/statement abt #caste or anything that remotely appears to be an "attack" on a caste etc. as "hatred" etc.

Nepalis characterizing/interpreting commentary/statement abt #caste as "bigotry"/ "discrimination"/"prejudice."
Talking about caste/race, to them, is to be a #casteist/#racist! 🤣🤣

BUT then again, in most cases, it's NOT their fault.
The fault lies with our #EducationSystem.
What can you expect from products of an #EducationSystem that educates its population on WHAT to think instead of HOW to think?!
(It certainly does NOT teach about #humanity.)

Regardless of whether the kids were beaten by #Dalits or non-Dalits, they were beaten FOR BEING #Dalit. That's what makes their caste imp.
So this tweet is making all trolls rabid. A. It's in a context. The pretext of beating & humiliating them was theft. That's a fact.
I started by acknowledging that the kids were accused of that crime. But their form of humiliation aligns to a known pattern of caste hatred
