You are twisting my words here, Santosh. As is clear from the context, I am specifically referring to the point of whether a supposedly secular State should lay down bans on any particular food based on the eating preferences of a section of the population.
Last words to you! FN FN wrote: How do we in a supposedly secular state decide what food is "acceptable" in a country?

I am dismayed to learn that Admin Noronha only disagrees with Nascy's style, not his views. But I guess he has finally let the cat out of the bag. So does this mean that Noronha agrees with Nascy that Indian culture is inferior to all other cultures of the world? And that such a belief still means that Nascy is not judging Indian culture, but on the contrary, has great respect for it? * * * IS YOURS one of the stories of Goans on board the S.S.
