No, In Hinduism we have so many castes and sub castes. They have their own culture and customs. According to their customs or traditional policies, they will have veg or non veg.There is no restrictions in their food. If vegetarians like to eat non veg, they can have it. But it depends upon their family.
Hinduism is the religion that divides families into four castes known as varnas: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and farmers), and Shudras (laborers). These caste divisions are hierarchical and traditionally determined by birth, leading to limited social mobility and interaction among the castes.
All the superior castes in Hinduism have a dharma, that is a place and resposibility in society. Do the dalits have a dharma?
Hinduism is a very complex religion. Though India practices Hinduism majorly but it has got many sub lingual, cultural and traditional groups based on castes which practice Hinduism in many different and vibrant manners. For example, the 'Rajputs' or the warrior caste in India practice Hinduism in a very royal and grand way and 'Brahmins' practice it in an entirely different way. So it depends on a caste and its culture.
3000 castes and 25000 sub-castes
Hinduism never believes in forcing people staying in their castes. Rather Castes have become identification of Individual, thus they like to embrace their castes because it brings pride to them.
