Compare and contrast evidence.

        In India's War On Biryani Mixes Caste, Religion, Cow-Avenging Vigilantes, Sandip Roy employs the use of both primary and secondary sources to support his argument. He uses direct quotes to cite various authoritative figures in this topic such as social scientist, professor, journalist, restaurant owners, the chair of commission of the Indian Times, and even, the prime minister. While in Purity Through Food: How Religious Ideas Sell Diets, James Hamblin uses primary sources to support his argument, specifically an interview with religion scholar Alan Levinovitz. He also includes other sources and accounts such as Levinovitz incident with the food vendor to substantiate his claim as well as other books from academics and a quote from a very influential figure, Pope Francis. Both Sandip Roy and James Hamblin build their arguments through their evidence, but by comparing both articles readers can distinguish how different types of evidence help substantiate various claims and convince diverse audiences of particular perspectives.
