Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper discusses the age-old concept of commensality but in a new light. This new guiding light is the religious foodways of the . Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanak in the fifteenth century, and the followers of this faith are worldwide. A significant institution of the Sikh faith is Guru ka Langar, a free community kitchen voluntarily run by the community members where they eat together without any distinction of caste, creed, color, age, gender, ethnicity or nationality. This paper thus widens the scope of this complex topic by claiming that a complete lack of conviviality or any form of social engagement can also be a commensal setting by a common ideology or religious belief.
