The Chennai-based Bhagwan Mahaveer Foundation (BMF) has suggested that airlines have separate vegetarian zones on the lines of no-smoking areas. With more and more Indians taking to the air and more and more vegetarians among them, it is a suggestion worth considering.
BMF managing trustee N Sugalchand Jain was quoted by PTI as saying that vegetarians felt uncomfortable when the passengers sitting next to them tucked into non-veg food. These days, foreign airlines flying into and out of India make it a point to recruit not just air-hostesses who know Hindi but chefs who prepare Indian cuisine, both north Indian and dakshin style.
It would be in the fitness of things if India’s airlines tried out the vegetarian-zone idea before any foreign carrier promoted the concept as its very own USP — unique selling proposition!
