    How prevalent is veganism in India? Whenever I look at Indian food, it’s butter this and milk that. Sure, there are some very good vegan choices, but it seems to me that Indians love their dairy.

      Veganism is actually a fairly new phenomenon in general, a lot of Jains in particular have adopted it. But vegetarianism in India dates back over a thousand years BCE , so yeah, they’ve got a bit of a head start.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism_by_country

      About 30% are vegetarian in India. Almost 10% are vegan.

      So it’s very prevalent, but America likes to pretend we’re the only country in the world and that problems are never solved anywhere else.

        Where are the Indian vegans? I have only ever met ONE in my entire life except myself.

      Quite popular, in my city it’s quite hard to find meat in the popular restaurants. And these places are quite old and we’ll know.

      Most foods don’t have any form or trace of meat or eggs, although milk and related items are very widely consumed.

      It’s vegetarian and not vegan.

      Vegetarian? Yes. Vegan? No.

      I am a vegetarian. I eat dairy. I don’t eat meat and eggs.

              To a vegan, that doesn’t matter because it’d be speciesism.
