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. Religious groups in India fast to mark different occasions. Muslims, for example, fast during the month of Ramadan each year, while other Indians fast on certain days of the week and to mark important life events. Hindus, especially in the South, may fast before every Skanda Sashti — a day devoted to Skanda, the god of war.
In addition to asking about personal dietary habits, the survey asked whether respondents would ever eat food in the home of someone — or at a function hosted by people — whose religion has different rules about food than their own. Overall, Indians are evenly split on these questions, but there are wide variations by group.
India has long been known as one of the best countries in the world for foodies, as well as a dream destination for vegetarians. Its cuisine is also known for being heavy in dairy products — paneer dishes, lassis, milk-based ghee-laden curries, curd, and the list goes on.
And t hough ghee is widely used in Indian cooking, oils — such as mustard and coconut — are also ubiquitous and are an easy vegan replacement. And food is deeply respected within Indian culture, which becomes apparent the moment you step foot off the plane. The entire country is full of culinary adventures and gastronomic journeys. One of my favourite things about India is following your nose and navigating the maze-like streets in order to find out what your next snack may be.
India is one of the cheapest places to travel to in the world. In some cases thalis are refillable at no extra cost. Now, go buy yourself an extra samosa. Avoid fresh produce, drinks that may use polluted water, any food items that may have been prepared unhygienically, and do not drink tap water.
Stick to vendors that have lineups of people waiting for the food. Though there are ways of trying to prevent illness in India, there are no methods that are foolproof.
However, not consuming meat and dairy is a great start, as animal products are often the culprit of illness in India. Can something be this delicious and still be healthy? Many curries are often made with lentils and beans and are rich in protein, and other curries are filled with a variety of nutritious vegetables. One of the healthiest things about Indian food is the liberal use of spices and herbs.
