The aroma of the variety of biriyanis attracted scores of students to the Muslim cuisine fest organised in the campus on Tuesday. The event was organised by Social Zest, the Sociology Association of the College.
The fest consisted of ‘beef biryani’, ‘chicken biryani’, ‘mutton biryani’, ‘brinjal curry’, ‘raita’ and few other snacks which turned out to be quite an attraction for many students. The traditional attire worn by student organisers added to its uniqueness. Different decorations which included crafts, artefacts and other ornamental pieces that reflect the richness of Muslim culture adorned the venue.
Free copies of the English version of the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, were handed out to everyone at the fest. Azhar Khan, volunteer of Social Zest said, “The purpose behind organising such a fest was to showcase the Islamic culture and its influence on our literature, tradition and beliefs. We are distributing books in order to clear the misunderstanding amongst people about the Islamic religion.”
“Our college has very few Muslim students, because of which we wanted to give prominence to the community by organising this fest. Noticing its success there will be many more fests of this kind in the future,” said Dr Berin Lukas, Head of the Department of Sociology.
