                                While often stereotyped as a largely vegetarian nation, research reveals only about 20% of the Indian population is actually vegetarian, a number significantly lower than common claims. This figure is often inflated due to cultural pressures, with a distinction needing to be made between different types of vegetarian diets observed across the country.
