>Huge numbers of Indians aren't Hindu and do eat meat.

Just in case anyone has the wrong idea (and I guess some people do), being Hindu does not equate to not eating meat.

Many Hindus eat meat (and many don't (though even that has nuances)), and have done so from ancient times, not just nowadays because of modernisation or westernization, although that has increased the percentage too, IMO.
