We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
( In this section, the editor himself replies to queries from the readers. As thousands jo/ letters are received every month — some anxious and several frivolous — it is neither possible nor convenient to attend to all. Selected letters are usually treated in an informative and humorous strain and no offence is meant to anyone.)

G. A. MODAK (Hassan)
Why is it there are more Irani restaurants in Bombay and Poona than Hindu vishrantigrahas?
An Irani restaurant is the Hindu's first introduction to Islam and its meat menu. Some Brahmins begin with eggs and end with beef. The Hindu restaurants specialise in "bhajias" and "batata wadas" which the average Hindu gets in his own home. There is glamour about the Irani hotel where you can eat what you are not expected to and what is not cooked at home. Anything from opiated tea to cat's meat is available at the Irani restaurant and we are fast becoming Parisians these days the way we eat cats and let the women escape.
