In both India's War on Biryani Mixes Caste, Religion, Cow-Avenging Vigilantes, by Sandip Roy, and Here's Why Salads Feel Feminine and Nachos Seem Manly, by Tanya Basu, the main source of evidence is interviews. While the first uses quotations from a social scientist and locals, and the second quotes a social psychology researcher, they are both interviews that support the author's claim or idea. Since each of the interviewees is speaking from first-hand experience, both of the articles are secondary sources.

Are the interviews primary or secondary sources? Also, how do the authors use that evidence: do the evidence support the claim, provide background for the author's arguments, or contradict/complicate the thesis?
