Note that this is the Vegetarian population that is changing. The traditional meat eaters in India always continue to do so. As an aside, if you see, inspite of the high Vegetarian population in India, not many Indians can be seen on these Veggie Boards online. This is rather sad. Part of it is due to the reason that the net/PC are not as accessible in India as here. However, still atleast some Indians must be on here. But this is not so.
