A day after the announcement of designated ‘veg-only’ tables by one of the mess councils at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, some students staged a symbolic protest by eating non-vegetarian food at one of the six tables, reserved for vegetarians, at dinner time on Thursday.
According to the protesting students, by designating tables for vegetarian students, the mess council is making such segregation official, which was “unnecessary when anyway there was mutual understanding among students”. “We oppose this official segregation. In a way the administration is dividing students in its so-called attempt to encourage inclusivity,” said one of the protesting students.
