Compare and Contrast Evidence

 In India’s War on Biryani Mixes Caste, Religion, Cow-Avenging Vigilantes Sandip Roy utilizes evidence in both a primary and secondary fashion. He uses the evidence to substantiate his claims whether it be through taking quotes from other scholarly sources or directly from the person. However, in Purity Through Food: How Religious Ideas Sell Diets James Hamblin mostly uses primary evidence to add proof to his claims. He follows a more conversational method by transcribing his interview word for word. His use of primary evidence through direct quotes provides ample substance to his article but in a completely different manner than Roy does. Roy’s methods are more traditional and commonly seen in published works but both accomplish the same task of substantiating their claims.
