The Jalebi is Muslim or Hindu Controversy erupts at JNU"

For the past few days, #JNU has made headlines in connection with issues related to patriotism and alleged acts of treason. The name associated with the university, Jawaharlal Nehru, often finds itself entangled in controversies and debates. It's worth noting that I've expressed my opinion on this matter, but our channel's producers will review and potentially edit my comments, as critiquing Nehru or expressing dissenting views is contrary to our channel's HR policy.

The ongoing controversy at #JNU has, in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner, revolved around a seemingly unrelated subject: jalebis. The ABVP believes that jalebis are a foreign food that arrived in India with the Mughals. This, they argue, is the reason why introducing jalebis further into our culture may not align with their vision of preserving Indian traditions.

On the flip side, figures like Kanhaiya and Umar Khalid have been vocal proponents of jalebis. They start their day by savoring milk jalebis. Umar Khalid's father, who also had a penchant for jalebis, supported his son's stance on this issue. However, due to diabetes, Umar Khalid's father has had to give up this sweet indulgence. He has made it clear that consuming jalebis is a matter of personal freedom and independence.

Surprisingly, even members of the ABVP, after their protests, were spotted enjoying jalebis from Mumbai's renowned confectioner, Tewari Bandhu. In a light-hearted moment, they chided one of their colleagues, who had returned from Mumbai after an extended absence, for not bringing back more jalebis. If both sides appreciate jalebis, one might wonder if the Jalebi controversy is rooted in politics. Could it potentially tarnish India's reputation?

News channels have, in their distinctive styles, tackled the Jalebi controversy at #JNU. Prominent journalist Rajdeep Pardesai expressed the view that everyone should have the freedom to enjoy jalebis, even if it leads to diabetes. He drew a humorous parallel to the ban on jalebis in Gujarat, which was implemented by Prime Minister Modi in his earlier role. Rajdeep implied that, similarly, ABVP might be pushing a jalebi-related agenda.

On the other hand, the renowned journalist Rana Ayyub suggested that the controversy surrounding jalebis might be part of a scheme by Amit Shah to profit by selling jalebis to foreigners.

The overarching concern is whether this battle of jalebis might harm India's reputation on the international stage.

I'm signing off now, and I encourage you to keep moving as well because if you stop, you might miss out on the opportunity to enjoy some delicious jalebis.
