Indians have never tried to communalize food Empty Indians have never tried to communalize food

Local councils in the Italian city of Milan in the Lombardy region are considering whether to impose a ban on restaurants serving non-Italian food. In one town in the region, four kebab shops have been denied licenses on the grounds that their cuisine is against the traditions of Italy. This bizarre move appears to have the support of Silvio Berlusconi, the equally bizarre media magnate who is the current Prime Minister of Italy....

Despite all our difficulties, Indians have never tried to communalise food. Go to any north Indian restaurant and you will find the leading lights of the BJP enjoying a biryani or a shammi kebab. It will never occur to them that this is Islamic food and therefore, alien to their Hindu traditions.

One of the factors that contributes to the richness of Indian cuisine is that we have always allowed communities to cross-pollinate each other in the kitchen.
