I had Claude do a huge research report about it. It's illegal to slaughter cows in all but 5 states. They use legislature and mob violence to shut cattle farmers down or drive them out. Kerela I believe consumes 50% of all the beef in India. People have gone to prison for beef possession in Gujarat. I think one of the ironic findings was that India is still a major exporter of beef. Most menus have chicken, lamb, and shrimp as "non-veg" options and half the restaurants are vegetarian only. But even those options are practically still vegetables imo. No pork to be seen either. And canola oil in everything all they way up to fine dining most likely. It's completely normalized and most people hold a taboo on beef and pork.

Cows are sacred to Hindus who make up almost 80% of the population of India. This not a new thing and has nothing to do with any ‘conspiracy’ to wean people off meat.
