Jews (Judaism) and Muslims (Islam) do not consume pork. Hindus (Hinduism) do not consume beef. However, there is no religion where both beef and pork are forbidden, but other forms of meat are permitted. There are vegetarian religions, such as Jainism and Buddhist Monks are vegetarian as well.

Since India has large populations of both Hindus and Muslims, Indian cuisine has historically avoided both pork and beef to avoid offending the two religions. This persists in many Indian restaurants in the Diaspora today, which do not have beef or pork selections on their menus even if the owners and workers are all Hindu or all Muslim.
