What percentage of Indians are vegetarian?

Answer 1

I am guessing that a majority of Indians are vegetarian. However, their are also plenty of Indians who are non-vegetarian.

____________________________________________________

Wrong. Majority of the Indians are non-vegeterians and only less than 30% are vegeterians. It is a false propoganda.

few conservatives are still vegetarian, most of the Indians are non-vegetarians (may not eat beef / pork)

Answer 2

I've heard 80% Well iam and all my friends It should be remembered that India has a huge landmass and over a hundred individual subpopulations and dialects (it is, after all, a sub-continent). That being said, vegatarianism varies from 70% in some regions to as low as 15 % in others. It is also worth noting that most definitions of vegetarianism in India are what we would call lacto-vegetarians in the United States, which allow the consumption of milk, cheese and yogurt.

Estimates suggest that 1 or 2 fifths of the population are absolutely vegetarian. Of the remainder more than half eat a mostly vegetarian diet, leaving less than 30% of the total population as frequent meat-eaters. You also have to keep in mind that Indians are a great source for vegetarian foods. So, after all this, the percentage of Indians that are vegetarian is less than or equal to 70%.
