About 50% of Indians are strict vegetarians. The other 50% eat non-veg food but not at every day or for every meal, unlike western or Muslim countries. Many Indian non-vegetarians eat meat only once a week or less. Some eat only for lunch....rarely for breakfast. Most people avoid meat on festivals or holy days or other days of religious significance.

No!

Perhaps why you may be confused:

Many Indians follow Hinduism, Buddhism, or Jainism. These religions stress the importance of nonviolence, so many followers will become vegetarian, and even sometimes vegan. Many areas of India are impoverished, another reason why many Indians do not eat meat on a regular basis.

About 4% of the population in India is vegan. Since there are about 1 billion people in India, that means that is about 40 million vegans.
