Of all the cost-cutting measures in all the world, Air India chose the one that will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of its non-vegetarian patrons. It wants to minimise the psychological damage caused to vegetarians once in a while when they are served a non-veg platter by a not-so-vigilant flight attendant. It hardly needs iteration that the Railways has more mouths to feed every day than the AI, which is faced with an ever-dwindling number of loyalists. This outrageous innovation will serve one purpose: Deepen the class divide even further. A food riot would be the last straw for an anaemic carrier that needs more than just veg protein to survive.
