Maharashtrian brahmins who founded RSS may be strictly vegetarian but
Maharashtra as a whole is almost entirely meat and fish eating.
Bengali and Kashmiri brahmins are nonvegetarian as are coastal brahmin
castes like the fish eating Saraswats.
In fact to cite the well-known 2006 CSDS survey on food, not only are
a whopping 69% Indians non-vegetarian but 45% brahmins are also
non-vegetarian. So why is a narrow vegetarian brahminical Hindu
sanskriti being selectively imposed as a pan Indian cultural norm?
