What are the most common myths and stereotypes about what Indians eat? The biggest myth, of course, is that India is a largely vegetarian country. But that's not the case at all. Past "non-serious" estimates have suggested that more than a third of Indians ate vegetarian food. If you go by three large-scale government surveys, 23%-37% of Indians are estimated to be vegetarian. By itself this is nothing remarkably revelatory. But new research by US-based anthropologist Balmurli Natrajan and India-based economist Suraj Jacob, points to a heap of evidence that even these are inflated estimations because of "cultural and political pressures". So people under-report eating meat - particularly beef - and over-report eating vegetarian food. Taking all this into account, say the researchers, only about 20% of Indians are actually vegetarian - much lower than common claims and stereotypes suggest.Hindus, who make up 80% of the Indian population, are major meat-eaters. Even only a third of the privileged, upper-caste Indians are vegetarian.The government data shows that vegetarian households have higher income and consumption - are more affluent than meat-eating households. The lower castes, Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) and tribes-people are mainly meat eaters. -- www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43581122

A vegetarian diet is considered to have less of a negative impact on global warming as well, and can help fight climate change
all nonsense article being published by the vested group of people, who are members of satanic rituals. Vegetarian is related with these satanic cult, actually. you people really don't understand how much terrible situation india is in right now, and this mess which india has put up by introducting caste system, mythologies, idol worshipping, religious bigotry, etc will never going to help you.
So Oxford university scientists are now pouting nonsense, as per you !
Why do you keep on advertising your ignorance constantly and boring others to death !
What a waste of life which could have been put to better use.

Only neurotic weaklings would lie to themselves about the dogma that slavishness to inherited power will pay off in becoming a member of that caste after reincarnation. Have no idea where you got such a theory. Hinduism states that it is past karma and actions that determine the tendencies of a person and it has nothing to do with inheritance. As stated earlier, the caste system is just a feudal system.
//Natural habits have a way of reinforcing themselves. For most of mankind's history, it took a lot of courage to kill a wild animal. Eating meat creates that courage for the next hunt, which of course our own gutless and far-outnumbered hereditary tyranny will never let us know about. //
Hunting is a pasttime amongst Hindus as well. Hindu Kings and warriors used to hunt down lions and tigers who posed a threat to the common people. In fact, the tiger is an endangered species in India due to too much of trophy hunting by trigger happy hunters. Many species have become extinct due to such reckless hunting all over the world.
//This religion of cowardice explains why the Indians were easily conquered by the British, whom they outnumbered 10,000 to one. //
Ever heard of the Bhagavad Gita, the gospel that was taught in the middle of the battlefield.
The British invaded India using the sword of well-paid Indian mercenaries. Indians have an ancient martial tradition, but lacked in a political identity that comes with being a single nation state then, and most kingdoms were given to infighting rather than organising themselves to form a single political entity then.
The Indian empire had been a single entity during the time of Chandragupta Maurya of Shudra origin and who defeated the Greeks under Seleucus. It was also a single political entity under Ashoka the Great and Samudragupta two milleniums back.
It was only aryan texts which talk about rebirth, not hinduism.
hinduism is modern invention, sorry.
Don't try to mix the theology with those with those with which there's no relation.
hinduism has marginal relationship with vedas, and that too, due to sanskrit.

It was the Buddha and Mahavira who created a culture of nonviolence and vegetarianism in India.
When a king was about to create an animal sacrfifice with a little goat, the Buddha asked him to sacrifice himself instead of the goat, astonishing the king.
In other words, they were IMPOTENT people, who were MERCENTILE CLASSES, which your BJP party is, all trader castes.
Got it know, why india is SUCH A SHIT?
There's no manliness in males in india, they all have only one thing in mind, get a job, slave for entire life, get a girl, married, and produce useless kids, who will be repeating the same cycle of SLAVERY.
If someone tries to standup, he gets rejected by his own family.

What nonsense are you talking as usual !
Rebirth is taught in the upanishads, bhagavad gita which is termed as hinduism, and in buddhism, jainism and sikhism.

oh, so you have finally accepted your own reality, SLAVE
wrong, it were shunga aryans who defeated the greeks, by using the pashtun services.
only under the mauryan empire that india was united, but after that, they got split.
You mean 2000 years back?
the ashoka which you people hail as buddhas was not the mauarya ashoka, that asoka had greek subjects.

Dude, I am done talking with you and wasting my time.
It's high time you stopped posing as a scholar or intellectual over here in order to dupe people, and start getting an education, and learn the basics of english language and conversational etiquette first.
