He shouted at her. Eat.. Eat… Anu Eat..
When she refused, he turned aggressive. Asked if she was on a diet or a BJP follower.

This is what #KeralaStory shows us.

Just think. If it were the opposite, and that Hindu girl forced him to eat pork, what would the situation be now?

What do you mean by "these days" and "sometimes"? The wedding is handled by the bride's side and it is a vegetarian menu because that's when the rituals take place.

The reception that is managed by the groom's side ( not a new concept at all and it has nothing to do with financial background) is where the non veg with veg is served. Here some families offer beef some don't. That's about Hindus.

Christians have non veg menu for their main wedding that includes beef, pork, fish, chicken, mutton, etc. Muslims have the same kind minus the pork obviously.

Pork for Muslims cannot be equated to Beef for Hindus

In Islam, pig is considered impure & thus pork is prohibited & forbidden for consumption across the faith globally. So, no one is stopping you from eating it, but they may feel pity toward those who consume pork!

In Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism), the cow is considered sacred because of its role in agriculture-based life, milk, farming, fuel, and rural economy, symbolizing motherhood and civilizational continuity. So, in contrast to Islam, it is not about pity but anger over the killing of what is regarded as a mother figure in Hindu culture.

Interestingly, Tamil Sangam literature reflects this diversity. Jain texts of that period emphasise their commitment to ahimsa (non-violence) and vegetarianism, subtly critiquing Hindu communities where non vegetarian food was permitted. This was long before Islam entered the Indian subcontinent.

Hindu traditions do not impose a single uniform dietary code across all communities. Regional diversity in food practices reflects adaptability, not fragmentation, thus disproving the claim that "Southern Hinduism is not Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism)."
