Hyderabad Man Shares Lunch With Driver And House Help, Wins Hearts Online

A social media post shared by a Hyderabad man about having lunch with his house help and driver has triggered a wider conversation online about class divisions in India. The post went viral after he described how difficult it was to convince them to sit with him at the dining table for a meal. Naresh, a Hyderabad-based writer and driving instructor, said that he has a "team lunch" every few months with his driver and domestic help.

According to Naresh, his staff members initially felt uncomfortable eating with him at the dining table. He said this attitude is a result of long-standing social systems and class discrimination. He believes this mindset must change in India.

Once in a couple of months, I have a ‘team lunch' with my staff, which is my driver and my maid :)
Initially they were so reluctant to sit at the dining table because of years of conditioning! This class system in India has to go. For heavens sake, this is 2026.
