      Probably not great, its endemically impoverished and one of the poorest part of India. It is hard to understand Indian vegetarianism in a western context because of the stain of hindutva and the ritualistic purity. Because BJP is so powerful right now and many people are being pious for show, Many people claim to be "veg" in India but only on specific days or specific times and has more to do with being ritualistically clean than animal rights.

    This the opposite of what my Indian friends have told me. They say the South is more religious and accordingly vegetarian.
