While there are some Hindus who are not vegetarians, most of them are. One reason for so many being vegetarians are a belief in nonviolence. Another is the belief that non vegetarian food is bad for the mind and hinders spiritual development.

∙ 9y agoHindus are generally vegetarian. That does not mean that they do not eat meat. Most of then enjoy non veg food once or twice a week. Many women do not eat the non veg. Non veg means goat meat, chicken and fish, mainly. Most of them are superstitious and will not eat the non veg on some particular day/days of the week and on auspicious days. Through out the Hindu Shravan month, they will not eat the non veg. Most of them become uncomfortable and wait for the month to end, very eagerly. Poverty is one of the reason, why the most can not enjoy the non veg routinely. Most of them in villages will try to hide that they eat the non veg. This they do in order not to hurt the feelings of some strict vegans. Strict vegans dominate and emotionally black mail the non veg eating people. Hindus has deep seated guilt feeling for keeling the animal. Hindus will never eat the beef and pork meat. Cow is considered as sacred animal. Cows also know that people give respect to them and they move around with confidence. With agriculture the main business for most of the people, you must expect the Indians to be mainly vegetarian.

Are Hindus vegan?
They are not vegan; in fact, not all of them are vegetarians. The truth is that there are many religious practices in India, and vegetarianism is only one of them. As to why there is a higher occurrence of vegans and vegetarians among the Hindu people, it is because many hindus believe in reincarnation and that any animal could be a reincarnated relative. Rather than risk harming a reincarnated friend or relative, they avoid eating all meat. Others believe that harming an animal is bad Karma and they avoid eating any meat, so that they are not even indirectly harming animals. Hindus believe in freedom of religion, which includes freedom to practice your religion as you see fit. Not harming animals includes not harming each other, viz., as long as your beliefs don't interfere with my beliefs, we can get along together. As with any society, this is more the ideal than what actually occurs, but most Hindus try to follow these teachings.
