PALAK PANEER, PREJUDICE

The case dates back to September 2023, when Aditya Prakash, 34, was allegedly asked by a university staff member not to heat his lunch— palak paneer—in a departmental microwave, citing its “pungent smell.” According to multiple reports, when confronted, Prakash responded briefly, saying he was heating his food and would leave immediately.
