A Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh member from Madhya Pradesh has accused the IITs of giving “kusanskar” or “bad culture of the West to students through food.”
The letter written by S.S.K. Jain, a grain trader from Katni, was forwarded by Union Human Resource Development Ministry to the Directors of all 16 Indian Institutes of Technology.
“The children who have started practising non-vegetarianism have saddened their parents by their ‘tamsic’ behaviour… It is the call of the parents of India that IITs and other institutions segregate their dining halls for vegetarians,” Mr. Jain noted.
