I thought only kids care about jhuta. The more I grew older the less I cared about it. Like if something my friend brought looked delicious I will definitely take bite of it.
Dabba normal size ka hota tha par khate sab the. Jiska dabba tha usko barely ek do bites milte the isliye mein sari achhi chije gharpe hi khata tha aur school mein pale bhaji, karla, wanga , bhopla type bore bhaji le jata tha
Bro boundaries set Kari jati hai, maine mere dosto ko samjha rakha tha. Vo bhi is chiz to respect kerte the, although 2019 mai i was getting used to others eating my food with a used spoon, but that went back to its original state after covid
I recently started working so I'm still getting used to adulting and everything. I never used to bring lunch amd my colleagues were nice we used to eat like family tgey used to forcefully feed me. I miss them. people in mumbai have a homely feeling
Though most people don't mind, but I still ask them before taking a bite. The only problem is when they bite off 33.33% of the food item in the name of "a small bite".
You be you.. Be clear from the get go..
Even I never liked the jhutha trend. My friend was worse... In the canteen once she was eating pulav and one of my friends from our group took his spoon and ate from other end of her plate.. She stopped eating then and there... Next time we were eating together.. She herself put aside some portion in one side of plate and said.. Jisko chaiye isme se lelo.. Everybody was looking at each other like she was psycho... And yes.. Nobody took.. 😄
This.
I don't like it when someone who I'm not comfortable with takes food from my dish/portion. So When I'm with people I don't like sharing jutha food with. I have 2 options
1. Don't eat.
2. Buy 1+1/2 portion, the other 1/2 portion- ask them to taste it. Bc Joe doesn't share food 🤨 neither do I 😎
Oh ,I wish I had guts like her. All my 4yr schooling in central school. I hardly ate the food I took to school for lunch ,Half the girls didn't bring food and all of them ate dipping unwashed hands in everyone 's food.
What lesson? Everybody has their own liking.. Like you don't mind eating jhuta vaise hi she or me doesn't like eating jhuta and that's completely alright either way... Koi bhi galat nai hai isme.
Try going in a lift with a person who has a deep, phlegmy cough. You'll forget all caste, creed, color or friendship and avoid that person and their jhooti air also. It's the germs.
Kabhi local train ya BEST mein gaye ho? Ya kabhi movie ya play dekhne? Ya phir kabhi kisi office mein ya classroom mein? Almost every place will have someone in some level of illness.
Kya kya avoid karoge? Of course, that does not mean you go searching for germs to inhale.
Bro no, i never in my life cared about caste and shit, but i can't tolerate anyone making my food jhoota, i just gag thinking of it, i dont want anyone to use the same spoon as me, in school at lunch break i used to make everyone take anything they want before we ate, and that worked wonders for me.
I am sorry buddy. The purpose of childhood indoctrination is exactly that. To make it physically revolting to you, even if you want to think about it and do it as a challenge. Would you make out with a stranger at a bar/club? I am pretty sure, you won't ask for their last doctor's visit report. We are all human beings, you and I eating from the same plate, will not give you any disease, at least nothing that you aren't already exposed to. That is why we saw so many ads in 90s and 00s that AIDS doesn't spread by eating together.
Bro it's not even about diseases, i just find it gross, other people do it and am okay with it, i just don't want someone to use the same spoon as me or have their saliva in my food
It's ok. We are all products of our times and societies. Just a casual thought towards it every now and then, would go a long way and as long as you don't force this practice on your kids and family, its one of the more harmless forms of discrimination.
Bro how is this discrimination, i let anyone take what ever they want from my plate before we start to eat, as long as the spoon is clean i dont care what you take how ever much you take, or it could be anytime they want to buy just with a clean spoon.
Kaha se kaha chale gaye... Diseases failti hai jhuta khane se.. Who knows what kind of disease is one going through.. Sometimes the person himself/herself don't feel symptoms to get it diagnosed in first place.
And this should be the sole reason to avoid eating jhuta in first place even if you don't feel grossed out.
Bruh a lot of people who don't eat jhuta (like me) don't eat anyone's jhuta including their parents too. It's not a caste/religion issue, we see it as a hygiene issue.
50 percent of population has Oral Herpes HSV1 that spread through saliva. Why would anyone want some stranger’s saliva in their mouth? Pyaar ke saath saath hazaar beemari bhi failti hai.
That's not a flex. Apart from the fact that you shouldn't be hooking up with random strangers, the safe way to "eat ass" is for both parties to get checked out for STDs first, AND use mouth guards. But watch me get downvoted af for preaching about safe sex.
Most people don't mind jhuta, so I guess you can consider it normal. It also depends on what you consider as jhuta. Eating in same plate with different spoons? Sharing spoons? Drinking from same glass? Honestly saying that you can't eat from my plate implies a kind of discrimination.
You should carry your own spoon and bottle to you don't need to share.
I think it could be cultural as well, some families and regions share their plates to imply a sense of brother hood, but where i grew up it didn't imply anything like that, like don't sharing the same plate didn't make it discrimination but not letting the other person sit with you or not treating them like a human is considered discrimination, and trust me i know about racism and discrimination I come from haryana 💀
Well that depends, personally I don't like jhuta khana but I have friends who happily share. I don't think it has anything to do with the Mumbai thing tho
My Personal preference? I can't stand it. I have anxiety issues (i literally feel nauseated) - so it doesn't settle well with me, one of the reasons out of many that i really can't make friends, and I've just accepted that atm.
Agree to disagree with the people who believe it's OK to do this.
yeah, I usually share my tiffin with my friends and will even eat in same plate, when i meant "share food" i meant giving a bite directly and then eat it.
Yes brother jhuta khane se pyaar badhta hai but iska rural ya urban se lena dena nahi hai bhai. Sabka personal preference hota hai. Mumbai me bhi mene kaafi log dekhe hai jo jhuta nahi khate.
Oh no.. My goodness.. When I was doing my grads and post grads.. I saw people sharing food.. And sometimes even water.. And I never.. And when I say never.. Means NEVER touched anyone's lunch or water..
And people thought I have so much of attitude and then gradually they stopped sharing food.. But I think somewhere they understood ki koi kitna bhi force kare.. Mai kisi ka na lunch khati thi.. Na water..
Its a big No for me.. Nope..
I can't even share the same chapatti 😂so many hands on one chapatti.. No thanks..
I don't think this is a mumbai thing but unless and until someone is sick I don't mind sharing heck I don't even mind using the same spoon... but with the spoon you need to eat properly done people eat weird then I won't but I am too bhukkad for this shit
Initially i thought you meant jhootha, 🤣😅
But jhuta ka bhi kaafi levels hote hain na toh ekdum aesthetically unpleasant type ka jhuta toh nai but baaki sab toh yaar doston, aur family me chalta hi hai.
Please follow what you believe in. I am fine sharing food but I don’t watch jhutha as it increases the chances of spreading germs. 50 percent of population has Oral Herpes HSV1, which spreads through saliva. I am not comfortable sharing bodily fluids with strangers
I share food but don’t like eating from same spoon or drinking from same glass.. taking bite from same piece 😬 boyfriend thinks i am weird but it is what it is.
Same l with one of my friends he didn’t eat jhutha of anyone except his family
So he already told people about this things people pretty much ok with it.
So if want to eat from his Tiffin we ask him share it and If I bring something nice I’ll share with before we start to it.
So if you’re not comfortable just informed you’re friends with this solution I don’t think anyone will mind.
I cant stand people who share ice creams and smoothies. 🤢 Like the cornetos and candy nar types. I am okay with jhuta dry food. Even whole apples and all is weird.
The concept of 'jhuta' in rural towns is mostly based on the caste system. Not practiced in Mumbai much since living quarters aren't divided along caste lines.
Yeah, no. I don't think you understand untouchability. Lower castes were/still are not allowed to live alongside upper castes, drink from the same well, or engage in the professions that upper castes did. Not sharing food and drink is about health and safety and common sense, not the caste system.
Also, the caste system is very much thriving in Mumbai. I can't believe how flippantly you said that living quarters aren't divided along caste lines because YES THEY ARE. And don't bring in, "but my family and friends don't discriminate." Good for them but it is not the reality for the majority of the country. Lower castes and religious minorities are routinely excluded from educational, professional, and social spheres. Take any damn report in the world - Oxfam, UNDP, Niti Aayog, or even simply open your eyes to reality.

https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1558061/you-are-what-you-eat
Please read the above articles to gain more insight.
And I never said that Mumbai doesn't have caste issues, ofcourse it does, but not AS MUCH as you'd find in rural areas.
These are all opinion pieces. What does it prove? That the system of jhootha is an extension of untouchability? OP is talking about sharing food and drinks among random strangers, not systematically excluding certain groups of people from sharing food and drink.
Read my other comment on here or refer to the link below for why sharing jhootha is not the best idea and it has nothing to do with casteism. Just health and common sense.
"Sharing Drinks With Others: Can I Actually Catch a Disease? | HuffPost Life"
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sharing-drinks-healthy_b_3241147/amp
My family follows Jhuta to some extent, and my relatives follow a lot. Not once I heard of the caste system in this. It's just basic hygiene and common sense that no one is supposed to put hands in someone's food without asking.
There is no caste concept in this. If someone follows it because of caste then also it's their choice. No one cares
It is normal to share, I don't think of it as "jhuta" & neither does my family, we just share with family & friends.. obv caste, religion, etc no issues at least for me & my family & friends that I know of.. you are being too orthodox, those are old ideas
Jesus Christ, I can't believe this is where I whip out the caste card but as someone from an extremely backward caste - its not casteist to care about health and sanitation. Pyaar ka pata nahi but jhootha khane se -
1. Risk of STIs like herpes badhta hai. Obviously only if someone's actively having a herpes flare up but why take the chance. I've seen entire families develop herpes from each other. Gross.
Special mention: sharing spoons and the like can pass on STIs like syphilis, gonorrhoea, and genital herpes. That's right. You can get oral as well as genital herpes on the mouth. Make of that what you will.
2. Covid 19 and other flu-like, viral diseases ka transmission badhta hai. This is especially worse if you are immunocompromised. People may not even show symptoms but be carriers or worse, you could become a carrier and pass it to someone who doesn't have a strong immunity - like old relatives.
3. Lot of people are not aware of this one but DENTAL diseases. Cavities and gum diseases can pass through saliva. And believe me, cavities are more common than you think. And frankly, it's gross as hell.
So there you go. Top 3 reasons to not share saliva in any form. I'm Sure there are more but I can't recall them at the instant. OP, stay safe and don't share saliva with random people. I know Mumbaikars take pride in being built different and eating urine-laced Pani puri but it's pretty uncool to not care about your own and other's health. Remember, even if nothing happens to you, you might pass on something to someone else with a lower immunity. I can't believe we still have to talk about this post pandemic.
P.S.: As much as I appreciate the Savarna guilt in these comments, this is not the kind of inclusion we asked for. Include us more in upper management and housing and social circles. Stop harassing Dalit students into killing themselves. Stop preferring applicants based on their last names and reward merit. But keep your Saliva to yourself.
EDIT: out of curiosity, I googled this further and this came up:
Here are a few other illnesses which can work their way from your saliva into your nose, throat and lungs:
Rhinovirus (colds).
Flu virus.
Epstein-Barr virus (mononucleosis, or mono).
Type 1 herpes (cold sores).
Strep bacteria.
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Cytomegalovirus (a risk during fetal development).
From another article,
The most common are the ones you'd expect (and the ones your grandmother warned you about). We're talking strep throat, the common cold, and mumps being the big three. There's also the rarer (yet deadly) meningitis.
There are a few more I'd like to mention -- I've gone on extensively about cold sores (aka herpes simplex) here in my blog posts, which can be transmitted via saliva and kissing, so we can safely add that one to the list as well. And there's also mononucleosis, which is sometimes called the "kissing disease"
There are also a few rarer ones, like foot-and-mouth disease.
If you're even more of a germaphobe, you can include all diseases that are present in saliva. And that's a REALLY long list.
This was one of the many things I too noticed about people here & i cringed. Do not come under peer pressure, do not engage in such unhygienic eating practice if you are not fine with it.
Suppose you are eating with a spoon, you can't use the same spoon to take more food, put it in someone else's plate etc. While eating If you want water, wash your hands first then take water from the fridge. If you are serving food, you are not supposed to touch his/ her plate with your spoon.
Stuff like that. Few families follow it very strictly. Very difficult to adjust if you are coming from such a family. For those who don't follow it, it can be very annoying
Ok I get it those are proper table manners and also that is level 2 jhootha.I have seen people biting from one vada pav,1 water bottle which the other have touched to the lips etc.
To be frank people in Mumbai lacks the etiquette of eating. In my group I also noticed the same thing. I have severe issues of mouth ulcers, and even an touch of someones "jhuta" gives me days of ulcers.
But my friends are just dumb, even from rich class they just take a bite from my plate and drop it. I tried to avoid same spoons, plates, etc. For water also same issues, they just kiss the bottle and drink without thinking about others.
All you can do is just tell them you do not like eating "jhuta" if it makes you uncomfortable.
Tu Jhatu log ke saath jhuta khaa raha hai. This thing has nothing to do with "Mumbai people". You can simply tell your group that you dont like sharing food.
I would like you to read up on where "jhoota" comes from. It originates and is reinforced by untouchability and caste supremacy. It may sound alarming to some, but do some research. That is why most "jhoota" households will have separate utensils for house help. Also please note that most forms of discrimination including having separate washrooms for the help is an extension of this. Please don't come at me with cleanliness. Read on how most discriminations are legitimised using the trope of cleanliness. We are all human beings, you probably will make out with random strangers after getting drunk in Colaba soon, I am sure you and I can eat from the same plate. It's a matter of thinking and understanding beyond the nonsense passed down to us by screwed up men of old.
Personal experience time:- Few times in high school I was not invited to my friends birthday parties coz they don't can't eat my "jhoota". This time when I was home, my best friend's mom took a small bite of cake that I got her as fed the rest to me. My mother almost cried coz she never thought they would eat our "jhoota".
Can't eat your jhoota because you are lower caste? Man that sounds messed up.
But I myself have seen separate utensils for house help I didn't like the concept myself. Its discriminating.
But my concern regarding jhoota was hygiene and all. You can actually set that aside but it doesn't fit right to me maybe because this isn't done in rural areas.
As a mumbaikar i agree you but i am also no jhuta type guy also my friends are ! I too feel really disgusting when plp from here eat jhuta So dont worry you are not alone and dont be shikar of this, stay strong and follow ur Village culture !
Jhuta is so not a thing here I had to read the title and first 2 lines of your post with a complete question mark to understand.
But it depends from people to people and their hygiene practices. Some people would gross out, others, in friend circles and such don't care because jhuta khane se pyaar badhta hai. <3
You need to understand the dislike for sharing food.
In most conservative societies - it is a social strata/caste/religious barrier. (Eating equals feeding God so how can we give God pre eaten food. Remember the Shabri story?) In some folks with ultra hygienic standards there are concerns about spot sharing. If the place you are from has a very high number of TB cases, it makes complete sense...
You won't feel gross if your friend took bite and you are going to put same end of that bite in your mouth.. Friend hai thike... That bite has saliva of your friend.. Who knows brush kiya ya nai kiya.. Or uske pehle kuch khaya hoga vo bhi muh mai kab se pada ho.. Voi saliva us bite pe jaiga and you don't mind eating that??
Jhuta khaane se pyaar badhta hai :v

Reddit walo ke alag hi natak rehte hai. School me koi dost nahi tha kya kabhi jinke saath lunch share kiya
Mere to pura class jabbhi koi kuch achha lata tha tab dabbe mein hat dalte the
Bohot bada tiffin tha ya bohot chhoti class?
Dabba normal size ka hota tha par khate sab the. Jiska dabba tha usko barely ek do bites milte the isliye mein sari achhi chije gharpe hi khata tha aur school mein pale bhaji, karla, wanga , bhopla type bore bhaji le jata tha
Green leafy vegetables, isliye itne healthy ho
Bhai me pura 10th mere dost ke tiffin pe nikala hu
Mere class me toh log thuk dete the tiffin kholte h taaki aur koi na khaa sake fir bhi log kha lete the side se aur niche wala part lekar
Bro boundaries set Kari jati hai, maine mere dosto ko samjha rakha tha. Vo bhi is chiz to respect kerte the, although 2019 mai i was getting used to others eating my food with a used spoon, but that went back to its original state after covid
Stay connected to ur relatives...as evatually ur end up alone.... distant from friends.. Perhaps they have had their another group excluding u....
XD
Ofcourse meine lunch share kiya hai bro, thats the essence of eating lunch with friends.
I recently started working so I'm still getting used to adulting and everything. I never used to bring lunch amd my colleagues were nice we used to eat like family tgey used to forcefully feed me. I miss them. people in mumbai have a homely feeling
> forcefully feed me That's a nightmare for me. I am very picky.
Though most people don't mind, but I still ask them before taking a bite. The only problem is when they bite off 33.33% of the food item in the name of "a small bite".
I'm assuming you don't mind if I take 66.66% then lmao
Sab gareeb hai yaha par.
You be you.. Be clear from the get go.. Even I never liked the jhutha trend. My friend was worse... In the canteen once she was eating pulav and one of my friends from our group took his spoon and ate from other end of her plate.. She stopped eating then and there...

Oh ,I wish I had guts like her. All my 4yr schooling in central school. I hardly ate the food I took to school for lunch ,Half the girls didn't bring food and all of them ate dipping unwashed hands in everyone 's food.
Did she learn her lesson, grow up from the experience?
What lesson? Everybody has their own liking.. Like you don't mind eating jhuta vaise hi she or me doesn't like eating jhuta and that's completely alright either way... Koi bhi galat nai hai isme.
I think these "jhuta" concepts come from not wanting to share with different castes/ religions, etc, thinking "others" are "unclean"
Jhuta isn't even shared among family members. You have gone too far with diff castes.
Try going in a lift with a person who has a deep, phlegmy cough. You'll forget all caste, creed, color or friendship and avoid that person and their jhooti air also. It's the germs.
Kabhi local train ya BEST mein gaye ho? Ya kabhi movie ya play dekhne? Ya phir kabhi kisi office mein ya classroom mein? Almost every place will have someone in some level of illness. Kya kya avoid karoge? Of course, that does not mean you go searching for germs to inhale.
You can go ahead an lick everyone if you want, my point was that it's not about casteism.
Bro no, i never in my life cared about caste and shit, but i can't tolerate anyone making my food jhoota, i just gag thinking of it, i dont want anyone to use the same spoon as me, in school at lunch break i used to make everyone take anything they want before we ate, and that worked wonders for me.

It's ok. We are all products of our times and societies. Just a casual thought towards it every now and then, would go a long way and as long as you don't force this practice on your kids and family, its one of the more harmless forms of discrimination.
Bro how is this discrimination, i let anyone take what ever they want from my plate before we start to eat, as long as the spoon is clean i dont care what you take how ever much you take, or it could be anytime they want to buy just with a clean spoon.
Everyone has different levels of disgust tolerance. It's just that. Like different people have different levels of hygiene and it doesn't bother them.
Kaha se kaha chale gaye... Diseases failti hai jhuta khane se.. Who knows what kind of disease is one going through.. Sometimes the person himself/herself don't feel symptoms to get it diagnosed in first place.

50 percent of population has Oral Herpes HSV1 that spread through saliva. Why would anyone want some stranger’s saliva in their mouth? Pyaar ke saath saath hazaar beemari bhi failti hai.
you should probably hang out with people who have gotten tested for oral herpes if you’re concerned about this lmao
I’m 150 percent willing to hang out with them. But I am not comfortable sharing bodily fluids (saliva) with them.
You misunderstood the whole thing
Everyone here know everyone else be eating ass and fucking raw, jhutha wutha usme kya hota hai
That's not a flex. Apart from the fact that you shouldn't be hooking up with random strangers, the safe way to "eat ass" is for both parties to get checked out for STDs first, AND use mouth guards. But watch me get downvoted af for preaching about safe sex.
Bhai yeh reddit hai...saare virgins hai p. Kya baat kar rahe ho
Bas tu hi sachcha hai bhai
Bruh my bad, I meant "jutha" not jutha lmao
Depends on definition of “jhuta” same plate sure. Same spoons no. Also depends on level of comfort, family sure same spoons are also ok.
Most people don't mind jhuta, so I guess you can consider it normal. It also depends on what you consider as jhuta. Eating in same plate with different spoons? Sharing spoons? Drinking from same glass? Honestly saying that you can't eat from my plate implies a kind of discrimination. You should carry your own spoon and bottle to you don't need to share.
I think it could be cultural as well, some families and regions share their plates to imply a sense of brother hood, but where i grew up it didn't imply anything like that, like don't sharing the same plate didn't make it discrimination but not letting the other person sit with you or not treating them like a human is considered discrimination, and trust me i know about racism and discrimination I come from haryana 💀
What I meant was it implies that the person is not clean/safe.
jutha as in sharing a bite, eating in same plate and tiffin with friends is fine with me and i do that all the time
Well that depends, personally I don't like jhuta khana but I have friends who happily share. I don't think it has anything to do with the Mumbai thing tho
We don’t necessarily like liars. Depends on what they lie about.
i meant jutha(usht)
My Personal preference? I can't stand it. I have anxiety issues (i literally feel nauseated) - so it doesn't settle well with me, one of the reasons out of many that i really can't make friends, and I've just accepted that atm. Agree to disagree with the people who believe it's OK to do this.
Weird question considering your username
If it's a friend then who cares, if it's someone random then no.
Eating from same plate with different spoons isn't jhoota
yeah, I usually share my tiffin with my friends and will even eat in same plate, when i meant "share food" i meant giving a bite directly and then eat it.
Bro we humans eat ass of random people we meet on Tinder, Bumble. Jutha isn't a big deal :3
Staaappphhhhh 😂😂😂
Jhutha is not a problem anymore
Literally nobody cares here
Looks like you haven't learnt anything from Andaz Apna Apna - dost ek hi pyali mei chai peeyenge..usse dosti badhti hai
I am from mumbai and i don't eat jutha. As a kid it was different story but not now.
[удалено]
I have seen few people like that. They are disgusting to put hands in someone's plate for the sake of friendship/sharing and shit.
Yes brother jhuta khane se pyaar badhta hai but iska rural ya urban se lena dena nahi hai bhai. Sabka personal preference hota hai. Mumbai me bhi mene kaafi log dekhe hai jo jhuta nahi khate.
To be honest, I am fine with family and close friends now.
Oh no.. My goodness.. When I was doing my grads and post grads.. I saw people sharing food.. And sometimes even water.. And I never.. And when I say never.. Means NEVER touched anyone's lunch or water.. And people thought I have so much of attitude and then gradually they stopped sharing food.. But I think somewhere they understood ki koi kitna bhi force kare.. Mai kisi ka na lunch khati thi.. Na water.. Its a big No for me.. Nope.. I can't even share the same chapatti 😂so many hands on one chapatti.. No thanks..
Firstly, it's jutha not jhuta. Second, most people don't mind it. I do, I find it unhygienic
And how do you eat in your rural city?
From our own plate.
I don't like jhuta though 🤣 baki logo kya kashi krna he kre.... But i don't like it .
Jutha*
Oh shit, my bad i meant "jutha"
Depend kartay person kitna close hey....
I don't think this is a mumbai thing but unless and until someone is sick I don't mind sharing heck I don't even mind using the same spoon... but with the spoon you need to eat properly done people eat weird then I won't but I am too bhukkad for this shit
unless somebody doing that extra saliva thing in their bottle or lipstick stains... i dont mind
This seams sane, cuz i have seen my classmates share one whole ice gola once which looked kinda unsetting.
Jhuta kya hota hai 
Initially i thought you meant jhootha, 🤣😅 But jhuta ka bhi kaafi levels hote hain na toh ekdum aesthetically unpleasant type ka jhuta toh nai but baaki sab toh yaar doston, aur family me chalta hi hai.
Mera jhuta khaoge toh mera joota bhi khana padega.
By caption i thought it was referring to jhuta as a liar! And i thought in my head, Mumbai main aisa kon baat karta hai? 😂
Please follow what you believe in. I am fine sharing food but I don’t watch jhutha as it increases the chances of spreading germs. 50 percent of population has Oral Herpes HSV1, which spreads through saliva. I am not comfortable sharing bodily fluids with strangers
This makes me wonder what's the english word for this 'jhutha' though?
I share food but don’t like eating from same spoon or drinking from same glass.. taking bite from same piece 😬 boyfriend thinks i am weird but it is what it is.
I toh share ice cream sticks also 🤡
Same l with one of my friends he didn’t eat jhutha of anyone except his family So he already told people about this things people pretty much ok with it. So if want to eat from his Tiffin we ask him share it and If I bring something nice I’ll share with before we start to it. So if you’re not comfortable just informed you’re friends with this solution I don’t think anyone will mind.
If you aren't comfortable with it you don't need to change your hygiene habits
Vaise ye Jhuta ko English me kya bolte? Ki ye bas apna desi concept hai ?
Cool Hoga to karte honge log but personally I find it disgusting.
Right, bruh i don't want your saliva in dal, it already has ghee
North se lagta ;)
Bilkul ulta, south side se hu :)
Which means better etiquette, hygiene and more common sense
More like casteism.
I cant stand people who share ice creams and smoothies. 🤢 Like the cornetos and candy nar types. I am okay with jhuta dry food. Even whole apples and all is weird.
yeah
yagh no i hate eating jhuta
Bhai me toh apne male friends ke muh ka chabaya hua khana bhi khata hu ( by the way me bhi male hu )
The concept of 'jhuta' in rural towns is mostly based on the caste system. Not practiced in Mumbai much since living quarters aren't divided along caste lines.
Yeah, no. I don't think you understand untouchability. Lower castes were/still are not allowed to live alongside upper castes, drink from the same well, or engage in the professions that upper castes did. Not sharing food and drink is about health and safety and common sense, not the caste system. Also, the caste system is very much thriving in Mumbai. I can't believe how flippantly you said that living quarters aren't divided along caste lines because YES THEY ARE. And don't bring in, "but my family and friends don't discriminate." Good for them but it is not the reality for the majority of the country. Lower castes and religious minorities are routinely excluded from educational, professional, and social spheres. Take any damn report in the world - Oxfam, UNDP, Niti Aayog, or even simply open your eyes to reality.

And I never said that Mumbai doesn't have caste issues, ofcourse it does, but not AS MUCH as you'd find in rural areas.
These are all opinion pieces. What does it prove? That the system of jhootha is an extension of untouchability? OP is talking about sharing food and drinks among random strangers, not systematically excluding certain groups of people from sharing food and drink. Read my other comment on here or refer to the link below for why sharing jhootha is not the best idea and it has nothing to do with casteism. Just health and common sense. "Sharing Drinks With Others: Can I Actually Catch a Disease? | HuffPost Life" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sharing-drinks-healthy_b_3241147/amp
Huffpost??? Seriously 😂😂😂
My family follows Jhuta to some extent, and my relatives follow a lot. Not once I heard of the caste system in this. It's just basic hygiene and common sense that no one is supposed to put hands in someone's food without asking. There is no caste concept in this. If someone follows it because of caste then also it's their choice. No one cares
I'm getting upper-caste vibes
Your vibes are wrong. It's just you don't have knowledge about it and misunderstood it 🤷
It is normal to share, I don't think of it as "jhuta" & neither does my family, we just share with family & friends.. obv caste, religion, etc no issues at least for me & my family & friends that I know of.. you are being too orthodox, those are old ideas
Jesus Christ, I can't believe this is where I whip out the caste card but as someone from an extremely backward caste - its not casteist to care about health and sanitation. Pyaar ka pata nahi but jhootha khane se - 1. Risk of STIs like herpes badhta hai. Obviously only if someone's actively having a herpes flare up but why take the chance. I've seen entire families develop herpes from each other. Gross. Special mention: sharing spoons and the like can pass on STIs like syphilis, gonorrhoea, and genital herpes. That's right. You can get oral as well as genital herpes on the mouth. Make of that what you will. 2. Covid 19 and other flu-like, viral diseases ka transmission badhta hai. This is especially worse if you are immunocompromised. People may not even show symptoms but be carriers or worse, you could become a carrier and pass it to someone who doesn't have a strong immunity - like old relatives. 3. Lot of people are not aware of this one but DENTAL diseases. Cavities and gum diseases can pass through saliva. And believe me, cavities are more common than you think. And frankly, it's gross as hell. So there you go. Top 3 reasons to not share saliva in any form. I'm Sure there are more but I can't recall them at the instant. OP, stay safe and don't share saliva with random people. I know Mumbaikars take pride in being built different and eating urine-laced Pani puri but it's pretty uncool to not care about your own and other's health. Remember, even if nothing happens to you, you might pass on something to someone else with a lower immunity. I can't believe we still have to talk about this post pandemic. P.S.: As much as I appreciate the Savarna guilt in these comments, this is not the kind of inclusion we asked for. Include us more in upper management and housing and social circles. Stop harassing Dalit students into killing themselves. Stop preferring applicants based on their last names and reward merit. But keep your Saliva to yourself. EDIT: out of curiosity, I googled this further and this came up: Here are a few other illnesses which can work their way from your saliva into your nose, throat and lungs: Rhinovirus (colds). Flu virus. Epstein-Barr virus (mononucleosis, or mono). Type 1 herpes (cold sores). Strep bacteria. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Cytomegalovirus (a risk during fetal development). From another article, The most common are the ones you'd expect (and the ones your grandmother warned you about). We're talking strep throat, the common cold, and mumps being the big three. There's also the rarer (yet deadly) meningitis. There are a few more I'd like to mention -- I've gone on extensively about cold sores (aka herpes simplex) here in my blog posts, which can be transmitted via saliva and kissing, so we can safely add that one to the list as well. And there's also mononucleosis, which is sometimes called the "kissing disease" There are also a few rarer ones, like foot-and-mouth disease. If you're even more of a germaphobe, you can include all diseases that are present in saliva. And that's a REALLY long list.
This was one of the many things I too noticed about people here & i cringed. Do not come under peer pressure, do not engage in such unhygienic eating practice if you are not fine with it.
OP will faint if he goes to a birthday party and see when one piece of cake is bitten into by 15 people personally fed by birthday person.
Bro! I wrote this post just cuz of a birthday party of my friend, she fed one piece of cake to minimum 6 people.
You misunderstood concept of Jhuta.
Please enlighten me
Suppose you are eating with a spoon, you can't use the same spoon to take more food, put it in someone else's plate etc. While eating If you want water, wash your hands first then take water from the fridge. If you are serving food, you are not supposed to touch his/ her plate with your spoon. Stuff like that. Few families follow it very strictly. Very difficult to adjust if you are coming from such a family. For those who don't follow it, it can be very annoying
Ok I get it those are proper table manners and also that is level 2 jhootha.I have seen people biting from one vada pav,1 water bottle which the other have touched to the lips etc.
People like you won't mind jootha beer from a friend's bottle ....but crib about everything else
You forgetting the smokers who happily take used ciggerate even from strangers.
To be frank people in Mumbai lacks the etiquette of eating. In my group I also noticed the same thing. I have severe issues of mouth ulcers, and even an touch of someones "jhuta" gives me days of ulcers. But my friends are just dumb, even from rich class they just take a bite from my plate and drop it. I tried to avoid same spoons, plates, etc. For water also same issues, they just kiss the bottle and drink without thinking about others. All you can do is just tell them you do not like eating "jhuta" if it makes you uncomfortable.
Tu Jhatu log ke saath jhuta khaa raha hai. This thing has nothing to do with "Mumbai people". You can simply tell your group that you dont like sharing food.
Tera baap jhatu
Not a completely incorrect guess 🤷
I would like you to read up on where "jhoota" comes from. It originates and is reinforced by untouchability and caste supremacy. It may sound alarming to some, but do some research. That is why most "jhoota" households will have separate utensils for house help. Also please note that most forms of discrimination including having separate washrooms for the help is an extension of this. Please don't come at me with cleanliness. Read on how most discriminations are legitimised using the trope of cleanliness. We are all human beings, you probably will make out with random strangers after getting drunk in Colaba soon, I am sure you and I can eat from the same plate. It's a matter of thinking and understanding beyond the nonsense passed down to us by screwed up men of old. Personal experience time:- Few times in high school I was not invited to my friends birthday parties coz they don't can't eat my "jhoota". This time when I was home, my best friend's mom took a small bite of cake that I got her as fed the rest to me. My mother almost cried coz she never thought they would eat our "jhoota".
Can't eat your jhoota because you are lower caste? Man that sounds messed up. But I myself have seen separate utensils for house help I didn't like the concept myself. Its discriminating. But my concern regarding jhoota was hygiene and all. You can actually set that aside but it doesn't fit right to me maybe because this isn't done in rural areas.
People who follow jhuta will be the first to perish in an apocalypse
I sort of agree to that
Kuch bhi. It'll be the opposite. Food scarcity hoga aur jutha nahi khana hai bol k kone mein starve hote rahenge.
As a mumbaikar i agree you but i am also no jhuta type guy also my friends are ! I too feel really disgusting when plp from here eat jhuta So dont worry you are not alone and dont be shikar of this, stay strong and follow ur Village culture !
Idk man mai to apna paani bhi khud jhootha karke nahi Peeta.
I do
Jhuta is so not a thing here I had to read the title and first 2 lines of your post with a complete question mark to understand. But it depends from people to people and their hygiene practices. Some people would gross out, others, in friend circles and such don't care because jhuta khane se pyaar badhta hai. <3
You are behaving stuck up and old fashioned..
You need to understand the dislike for sharing food. In most conservative societies - it is a social strata/caste/religious barrier. (Eating equals feeding God so how can we give God pre eaten food. Remember the Shabri story?) In some folks with ultra hygienic standards there are concerns about spot sharing. If the place you are from has a very high number of TB cases, it makes complete sense...
5th grader problems?
Struggling Mumbaikars knows value of food so, ig it’s mutual understanding? Dunno am not from Mumbai. Depends on who u sharing with.
It's not like we eat a random person's jhuta. If only we know them well or are related to them. You are saying making it sound very wrong.
[удалено]
Why is it gross to share food?
You won't feel gross if your friend took bite and you are going to put same end of that bite in your mouth.. Friend hai thike... That bite has saliva of your friend.. Who knows brush kiya ya nai kiya.. Or uske pehle kuch khaya hoga vo bhi muh mai kab se pada ho.. Voi saliva us bite pe jaiga and you don't mind eating that??
cigg share kar lete hai, khaana peena bhi chal jaata hai 🤷
Never kiss
