Vegetarianism
I just saw your comment on WT:HNB and thought you'd find this information interesting: While it is true that most Indians avoid beef, the statement that "Most Hindus are veggie, especially in the south, by birth" is a commonly held (including by me till recently) misconception. Actual numbers show that vegetarianism is relatively rare in Southern (coastal) states compared to Northern (land-locked) states, with "lowest proportion of vegetarian families are in coastal States such as Kerala (2%), Tamil Nadu (8%), Andhra Pradesh (4%), Orissa (8%) and Bengal (3%). Most land-locked States, especially in the west and north, are places with the highest proportion of vegetarian families: Rajasthan (63 per cent), Haryana (62 per cent), Punjab (48 per cent), Uttar Pradesh (33 per cent), Madhya Pradesh (35 per cent) and Gujarat (45 per cent)."  Note, that the quote talks about "vegetarian families" so it is not a simple matter of people reluctantly eating meat due to convenience. I hope you find that as illuminating as I did. Also see: Vegetarianism in specific countries. Welcome to the knowledge source of wikipedia ! Abecedare 18:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
