What does this thread have to do with Hinduism? Always love a shoe-horned hinduism comment. It's my favourite way to spot a hindutva member. Also, no, it doesn't predate. Or at least, there is no such record of it. What are your sources?

Why the hostility? That’s not what I gathered from their comment. And isn’t it a known fact that quite a few religions stemmed from Hinduism, like Jainism and Buddhism? Just like the other 2 Abrahamic faiths stemming from Judaism.

why the hate? this is what the khalsa extremists were like, many religions have free food to offer

  As a practicing Hindu, even I feel your original comment is inaccurate. There's free food, and then there's langar. The scale, quality and motives are just so different.

    As non practicing Hindu, you do know know that free food is available in most temples? Example Anna Prasadam in Tirumala serves 70k each day.

    thats not true, visit india, or even in the Uk there are many free food hindu outlets like go dharmic etc

      It is not the same. The Sikh culture almost mandates langar. In Hinduism it's seen as an optional extra.

        where does it say optional in hindu scriptures? this is just fake news

Wow. Hate is unwarranted. Tirumala Anna Prasadam is pretty good. quoting from press release “By the normal standards in the present kitchen 12 huge vessels are steamed to produce rice at the rate of five persons for one kg rice. “But we are geared to cook rice for one to two lakh persons during the Srivari Brahmotsavam at the rate of 400 bags of rice per day” https://news.tirumala.org/nitya-annadam-free-meals-for-all-24x7-basis-a-minimum-one-lakh-every-day-over-one-lakh-devotees-to-be-fed-daily-during-brahmotsavam/ https://news.tirumala.org/nitya-annadam-free-meals-for-all-2... more stats here https://www.tirumala.org/SRIVENKATESWARAANNAPRASADAMTRUST.aspx https://www.tirumala.org/SRIVENKATESWARAANNAPRASADAMTRUST.as... Anna prasadam is pretty common thing in Hinduism. Read about Akshayapatra foundation which provides free mid day meals to 1000’s of children every single day!
