I just recalled that Brahmins in India do not eat food prepared by
members of other castes if possible, and since the pundits are
Brahmins, they'll want Brahmin cooks. But they are going to have a
battle with the State Dept over this issue, I'll bet (since the cooks
are at least as poor as the pundits and don't qualify for U.S. visas,
and the State Dept clerks in India probably are not concerned about
caste issues and would just say that MUM should hire people who can
read recipes to prepare Indian food -- the pundit kitchen is not a
gourmet restaurant that requires superstars of Indian cooking), and
this issue of visas for cooks certainly could not have been news all
this two years that they have been planning this (non-) event.
They could get Brahmin cooks in without any difficulty. Indian restaurants bring in Brahmin cooks all the time here.
