Chennai : C. Sreetharan, Vice-President -HR, issued a notice dated April 10, 2014 stating that non-veg. food is banned (‘not permitted’) in all canteens of the Hindu offices and dining halls. He cited complaints from employees of the Hindu. He says” All are aware” that non-veg food causes “discomfort to the majority of the employees who are vegetarian.”
It is a known and established fact that the Hindu is a Brahmin dominated news paper. This public notice reiterates the view that the majority of the employees in the Hindu are Brahmins. Even if there are some non-Brahmins, they have to become vegetarian and therefore, Brahmins in thinking.
Endorsing Brahmin food culture is nothing but castism in India.Veteran Journalist B N Uniyal rightly told us that the absence of Dalits and other subordinated castes in the media is nothing but modern untouchability (social exclusion).Untouchability operates in a subtle manner in modern public institutions. The demands like reservations in the private sector and slogans like corporate social responsibility have no meaning in the Brahminical Hindu paper.
The public notice of the Hindu attracts section 3 (x) of THE SCHEDULED CASTES AND THE SCHEDULED TRIBES (PREVENTION OF ATROCITIES) ACT, 1989:
(x) intentionally insults or intimidates with intent to humiliate a member of
a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe in any place within public view;
The notice of the Hindu management is nothing but insulting the Dalit-bahujans and non-Brahmin castes and their food cultures.
When will the day come when Dalit journalists conduct beef festivals in media houses in this great democracy!
Muslims r killer of animals.they r celebrated the killing of innocent animals in the name of id.in india more than 5 cror animals have been killed in single day of id,bakrid the festivals of killing animals.
