Just when you thought that people in the country have finally moved on from making what’s on someone’s dinner plate into a national debate, Delhi based law student, Arunima Bhattacharya, found herself explaining to a passionate Hindu classmate ‘how you justify eating beef.’

This classmate of hers from ‘section B’, whom she has never met in person, sent her a private message on WhatsApp, after he couldn’t come to terms with the fact that Arunima, who hails from a Hindu Brahmin family, could be fine with eating beef. Arunima had earlier shared her liberal views on the matter of beef eating in another group.
