Hindutva Brahmin Cultural Imposition - No onion and garlic in midday meals served to students

[manlion]

These diets are designed to increase the concentration and improve the learning skills.

Non veg is not served in mid day meal program. But Eggs are allowed in this program, but Akshayapatra only serve veg meals.

You are religiously motivated in this regard. Why religion needs to be come into picture here?

any scientific evidence to backup your claim that brahmins' satvik food (devoid of meat, egg, garlic, onion etc) improves concentration and learning skills ?

The reason why religion cropped up because :

• this program is managed by APF, a subsidiary of ISKCON an international Hindu cult famous for its scandals
• Food served by APF is brahmanical i.e satvik (in other words cultural imposition)

here is the link the head is a Jain. Hindus do eat Garlic but Jains do not.

Gone are the days when church sponsored idiots used to disrupt development and Programs that are aiding people to remove poverty and bring empowerment.

Church sees the opportunity to convert as long as the masses are kept poor and bigoted.

India do not need any one to lecture us in this regard. We do not need foreign funding and church should wrap up its malicious campaigns in India. Simply saying .... they should get out !!!

The satvik bojan is mainly consumed by Jain, there are Jains as trustees in the board as well.

This is not related to religion, but a meal which is designed for students.

satvik is a vedic brahmanist concept, the characteristic of satvik food is mention in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17 : 8 - 10 'ayuh-sattva-balarogya ' ( link https://asitis.com/17/8-10.html )

APF is a state govt funded Hindu religious NGO, its modus operandi is similar to the charge levied upon "rice bag conversion"

It is a civilizational thing, which is followed by Jains and some Hindus.

hinduism has assigned the caste system for food, garlic and onion is considered to be rajasic/tamasic i.e food eaten by lower caste (non brahmins) vs satvik food of the brahmins.

Row erupts over Akshaya Patra serving 'satvik' food as midday meal

https://www.rediff.com/news/report/row-erupts-over-akshaya-patra-serving-satvik-food-as-midday-meal/20181207.htm

So even food has a caste associate with it.

These guys need to focus on nutritional value of food instead of associates food to religion. Poor People in India are starving while the Brahmos no are telling people what they can it can’t eat based on religion. No wonder India was ruled by others for many centuries.

everything in Hinduism is divided along caste , all things associated with brahmins - food (vegetarianism minus garlic/onion/mushroom etc), color (white, red, orange) , religion (vedic brahmanism), language (Sanksrit) is considered sattvik (good or pure)

by this logic, it would mean Hitler who was a vegetarian was pure and good. Or there should not be any scandals such as child abuse, murder, corruption in ISKCON, the parent body of the Akshaya Patra Foundation (APF) that runs the mid day meal for students.

APF is imposing its brahmanical value on students through its mid day meal program by forming a nexus with state govts and Hindutva forces.

not jain , the program is run by Akshaya Patra Foundation (APF) a subsidiary of an international hindu cult known as ISK-CON

The State government appears to have backtracked on its stand that onion and garlic be introduced in mid-day meals served to students. It has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Akshaya Patra Foundation (APF), a subsidiary of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), despite the latter’s refusal to use the two ingredients.

Ask Govt to fund and they can even provide chicken every day. When APF do social services, Govt cannot dictate. You know that beggars don't choose. Here Govt isis beggar...

Govt is your favourite Congress+ JDU, if Govt wants they can scrap the mid day meals from APF and fund it self.

APF is not providing charity, its just another contractor used by state govts to provide mid day meals to students. Apart from govt grants and subsidies, APF relies on individual and corporate funding and donation to operate its kitchen.

Being a religious organisation (ISKCON / Hare Krishnas) its public and social accountability is questionable, its parent body, ISKCON has been embroiled in various scandals e.g child abuse, extortion, murders.

Bengaluru: Scrap mid-day meal contract, says activists

Bengaluru: Social groups and several activists are demanding that the contract of the Akshay Patra Foundation to provide mid-day meals to 4.43 lakh school children in Karnataka be terminated immediately as it is depriving them of nutritious food on religious grounds.

Dr. Veena, retired deputy director of the National Institute of Nutrition too emphasises that no religious group or denomination has the right to decide what food the children should eat under the mid-day meal scheme.

I live near a university, half of Pakistani takeaways/restaurants are full of Chinese and Indian students chomping on kebabs and beef biryani.

In India brahmins use food habit as means of discrimination and hate. Food in india is not a personal choice or nutritition choice but a political weapon to humiliate non-brahmins and even murder in case of muslims and their beef eating and make them feel bad about their own food. that is why you will see in India "Pure Veg" restaurants - they cant stand the food of their own countrymen or even co-religionists.

It is hard to rent an apartment in core areas of mumbai or ahmedabad if you eat meat. The owner often inspects tenant houses for signs of cooking chicken etc. The uncivilized and tribal attitudes of brahmins means no concept of individual choice or liberty or freedom.

APF foundation is frigging funded by Indian government which collects tax money largely from meat eating populations especially in south. But after taking money from meat eating people the arrogant and brahminical organization makes cooks food completely in diseragard for nutritional value or cultural values of its funders but cooks solely based on caste based feelings.

Then why does Indian govt fund them ? senior bureacrats in India who take these decisions are mostly brahmins or their allied casts.

India is such a disgusting place.

Why no onion or garlic?

Onion and Garlic grow underground and harvesting them means killing the plant itself. Unlike fruits and Vegetables and grains and pulses that grow and can be harvested without killing the plant.

Similarly vegetables like potato, carrot etc which grow underground and cannot be harvested without killing the plant is to be avoided in a strict Hindu diet.

A meal which causes minimal damage to life is called a "Satvik" diet. or a pure diet. Other being rajsik and tamsik.

In the past brahmins and those who concerned themselves about living right tried to inculcate a strict satvik diet.


Its only after the advent of the christian british that there was a major disruption in Indian diet due to forcible cultivation of non food items like opium and Indigo by the british.

Even then the Hindus managed to hold on to a strict Vegetarian diet that again caused minimum damage to other life around us. Even the Hindu Fishermen of Mumbai were Vegetarians during british rule and that should tell you something.


The other major disruption in India food habits came after the advent of COMMUNIST in India that choose to denigrate anything "Hindu" since it posed a challenge to the communist ideology.

Also due to killing of milch animals and general degradation of environment, the nutrients value of fruits and vegetables grown in India as fallen by 40% so the general diet and health has suffered. This started the introduction of eggs into the Hindu diet system and lifestyle.
