#022, make separate arrangements for their (Muslim Boys) food

CONTEXT: Swami Akhand`ananada, a co-disciple of Vivekananda started an orphanage. On 10th October 1897, Vivekananda wrote to Akhand`ananda from Murree, approving it. Vivekananda wanted Mohammedan boys also to be admitted. He wrote: "...You must admit Mohammedan boys, too, but never tamper with their religion. The only thing you will have to do is to make separate arrangements for their food etc." BLOGGER'S VIEWS *OK, with not tampering with their religion (Mohammedan boys). *But, then why make separate arrangements for their food etc.? *Is it desirable or possible to divide dining room on the basis of religion?
