Sudha Murty said, “I’m a pure vegetarian, I don’t even eat eggs or garlic. What I am scared of is what if the same spoon is used for both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. When we go out, I only search for veg restaurants.”

Some of the responses to her remarks are shared below.

Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep: Afternoon musing: not sure why social media in a tizzy over Sudha Murthy food habits. Everyone should be free to eat what they choose/how they choose to eat it .. Problem comes when you IMPOSE food habits on others, or discriminate on basis of food. Agree?

Nimo Tai @Cryptic_Miind: People who advocate freedom to eat beef are angry that Sudha Murthy carry her own food and cutlery while traveling abroad. What happened to freedom now?

Smita Barooah @smitabarooah: Serious question:Why is Sudha Murthy’s pure vegetarian lifestyle triggering some people? She’s not asking you to change your food habits. What happened to respecting all choices?You don’t diss Jains.Or vegans .Or pescatarians,etc What’s the real pain point?That she’s super rich?

Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai: Muted the Sudha Murthy tweet, those who want can themselves look up why food puritanism is rooted in casteism. Those on it just to abuse can do so in vacuum – won’t show up in mentions. I think Murthys are rich enough not to be affected and can do whatever the hell they please

Cataleya@catale7a: “What I am scared of is that the same spoon will be used for both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, so I carry my spoon with me” – Sudha Murthy

“Our teacher washes the stick after beating us with that stick, because it touched us” – A Dalit student

Grouchy Maxx @softgrowl: Someone tell Sudha Murthy not to touch her son-in-law, daughter and their kids.
