Join us for a virtual screening of the documentary film, Caste on the Menu Card, made by students of the School of Media and Cultural Studies at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), which delves into the idea of food as a site of exclusion by focusing on beef-eating practices in Mumbai and portrays concerns related to livelihood, brahmanical social inclusion and human rights. Apart from tracing the mythological and historical roots of meat-eating culture, the film also discusses the political economy of the leather and meat industries. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Atul Anand and Rajyashri Goody, moderated by Dr. Shaista Aziz Patel.
