Overview

• Prashanth Rangaswamy’s X post has drawn over 2 million views and reignited concern over dietary criteria in urban rentals.
• Online reactions remain split between critics decrying discriminatory treatment and supporters citing landlords’ autonomy.
• Commenters have likened food-based exclusions to caste or religious bias, while others argue dietary rules resemble policies on pets or marital status.
• Despite widespread attention, no housing authority or government agency has proposed measures to curb arbitrary tenant filters.
• Rangaswamy’s continued search for a non-vegetarian–friendly flat underscores the broader challenge of unchecked personal biases in India’s rental market.
