He addresses a specific controversy at IIT Bombay where students from an Ambedkar-Periyar study circle protested by eating non-vegetarian food in a vegetarian cafeteria, acknowledging that their opposition to the injustices of casteism and brahminism is valid and appreciable. However, he points out that equating vegetarianism with brahminism is factually incorrect, since brahmins across eastern and southern India consume meat quite freely. He takes the discussion further by arguing that anyone who truly follows the philosophy of Ambedkar and Periyar, which is rooted in opposing oppression in all its forms, should logically extend that compassion to animals as well. He presents the staggering numbers of animals slaughtered daily across the world and makes a case that animals are among the most oppressed beings on the planet. He urges the members of that student circle to reconsider their position and not draw a false equivalence between opposing brahminism and consuming meat, suggesting that veganism driven by compassion rather than ideology is the more consistent and just path forward. ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe...
