I would say about 30% of my Indian coworkers over the years have been vegan.
I think the challenge is that, unlike a lot of Western vegans, they don’t go out of their way to talk about it. My second job, I knew day 1 about the white girl who was vegan. It took me 2 years to learn that 4 of my Indian coworkers were vegan since birth. And I only learned it because they learned I was getting into Indian food so they all started bringing stuff in for me to try. Entire meals. Incredible meals. I miss that job, lol.
My family loves to announce to the world that I don’t drink milk. It’s annoying. Idk they’re probably in shock or something that someone would choose not to abuse cows. (They’re vegetarians, I’m vegan)
Where are the Indian vegans? I have only ever met ONE in my entire life except myself.
Try India.
Lol I actually laughed. Maybe it’s the beer. But thanks!
Maybe it’s a regional difference? I live in South India

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?!

Exactly, we don’t go about our day preaching veganism.

Where do you live? I assume outside India? Hmm
Well yeah, very outside of India. I live in the US, though I try not to make my identity about that.
But one thing I’ve loved about working in Boston is how many cultures I’ve been exposed to in my life.
no one abuses cows anyway
Tell me you know nothing about it without telling me you know nothing about it
I know enough to tell you you’re spreading misinformation
I’m not going to bother. I’m tired.
have a nice day
