In India, several religions advocate for vegetarianism, primarily Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Many Hindus practice vegetarianism as a principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, while Jains strictly avoid meat and even certain root vegetables to prevent harm to living beings. Buddhism also encourages compassion towards all living creatures, leading many Buddhists to adopt a vegetarian diet. Additionally, some sects within these religions may have varying practices regarding meat consumption.
