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.

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.

Hi!

I don't mean like, online. I've met plenty of online Indian vegans. But still, I find it hard to believe that every 1 in 10 people are vegan. Where?!
