Jains would be vegan though i assume?

I don't know any Jain well, but I believe they drink milk and fermentation products, but do not consume honey. Open to correction.
Jains in India are heavy consumers of dairy products. They consume honey too. Most of them would avoid vegetables that grow underground and avoid the use of leather. They’re generally a bit closer to orthodox Hindus in practice.
