It can be viewed in a better way through the following moral story. Upma used to be served everyday in a hostel of inmates. Out of students 80 students complained saying they wanted a different tiffin each day. But, 20 students were happy to eat Upma everyday. With great confusion to come to a conclusion, the warden arranged for voting. Which ever tiffin gets majority, that tiffin will be served.

Muslim teachings, meanwhile, prohibit pork. Pew Research Center conducted this analysis to better understand how dietary laws and traditions in India are tied to religious identities, beliefs and attitudes.
For this report, we completed 29, face-to-face interviews in 17 languages with adults ages 18 and older living in 26 Indian states and three union territories. The sample included interviews with 22, Hindus, 3, Muslims, 1, Sikhs, 1, Christians, Buddhists and Jains.
An additional 67 respondents belong to other religions or are religiously unaffiliated. Interviews for this nationally representative survey were conducted from Nov. Respondents were selected using a probability-based sample design that would allow for robust analysis of all major religious groups in India, as well as all major regional zones.
Six groups were targeted for oversampling as part of the survey design: Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and those living in the Northeast region. Data was weighted to account for the different probabilities of selection among respondents and to align with demographic benchmarks for the Indian adult population from the census.
Here are the questions used for this report, along with responses, and its methodology. Yet, even among groups with low rates of vegetarianism, many Indians restrict their meat consumption. Many Jains avoid not only meat but also root vegetables to avoid destroying the entire plant, which is seen as a form of violence in Jain theology.
Hindu vegetarians are about evenly divided between those who eat root vegetables and those who do not. Fasting is another common dietary practice in India.
Indians are said to underreport their meat consumption due to religious and cultural stigmas associated with it. The rise in meat consumption is predominantly driven by urban India , and the highest percentages of non-vegetarians come from southern states such as Telgana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Another reason may be that chicken can be considered a universally acceptable meat , given the religious taboos associated with beef among Hindus and pork among Muslims.
These include rising urbanisation, increasing disposable incomes , globalisation and cross-cultural influences. Many urban Indians are embracing consumerism as a sign of upward social mobility and meat is widely considered to be a status symbol. Despite this, others still consider meat-eating to be socially and culturally unacceptable. This appears to reflect differences in front-stage and backstage behaviours , a trait mainly found in collectivist cultures.
It seems urban Indians today face a dissonance. On one hand, increasing exposure to new lifestyles is creating cultural change, but there is still pressure to adhere to traditions that have prevailed for centuries.
