The organisers of this weekend's Jeevika Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival sent 35 documentary films to the Ministry of Information and Broadcast to effectively get permission for screenings. They got back 34 permissions. The one that has been left behind is Caste on the Menu Card, a 21-minute film that uses beef-eating practices in Mumbai to examine the way food and caste are intricately linked.

The Indian Express reported on Friday that the Centre for Civil Society, which organises the film festival, was told that the movie would not be given an exemption for it to be screened because of the "current political situation over the beef ban issue."
