Swaraj Kaushal was criticised for tweeting, "I admire Tamil Brahmins...They're vegetarian. They practise 'simple living, high thinking'." "I admire people with values irrespective of...community & eating habits," a user wrote. Another user said, "I admire those who don't think...value system evolves from...community a person is born into." "I'm entitled to have an opinion," Kaushal later tweeted.
