British Hindus expressed discontent after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Diwali celebration at 10 Downing Street included meat and alcohol on the menu. The event, attended by community leaders and politicians, featured traditional Diwali elements like diyas and a Kuchipudi dance performance. However, the inclusion of lamb kebabs, beer, and wine shocked some attendees. Satish K Sharma, a prominent British Hindu pandit, criticized the “lack of sensitivity” compared to last year’s vegetarian menu hosted by Rishi Sunak. Insight UK also voiced concerns, urging greater respect for religious sentiments at such events in the future.
