Description

Acharya Prashant explains that technical and management institutions should not have veganism on their official agendas or enforce it institutionally. Instead, he emphasizes that as living persons, technocrats and managers must develop their own code of ethics based on understanding and data. He asserts that veganism is not a cult or a fad but a demand of the current times. He draws a parallel between the historical exploitation of humans, such as slavery and the denial of rights to women, and the current exploitation of animals. Just as society evolved to recognize human rights, he predicts that history will eventually accord animals the right to life, and those who deny this will be seen as primitive.
