I would say about 30% of my Indian coworkers over the years have been vegan.
I think the challenge is that, unlike a lot of Western vegans, they don’t go out of their way to talk about it. My second job, I knew day 1 about the white girl who was vegan. It took me 2 years to learn that 4 of my Indian coworkers were vegan since birth. And I only learned it because they learned I was getting into Indian food so they all started bringing stuff in for me to try. Entire meals. Incredible meals. I miss that job, lol.
My family loves to announce to the world that I don’t drink milk. It’s annoying. Idk they’re probably in shock or something that someone would choose not to abuse cows. (They’re vegetarians, I’m vegan)

Exactly, we don’t go about our day preaching veganism.

Where do you live? I assume outside India? Hmm
no one abuses cows anyway
Tell me you know nothing about it without telling me you know nothing about it
I know enough to tell you you’re spreading misinformation
I’m not going to bother. I’m tired.
have a nice day
Well yeah, very outside of India. I live in the US, though I try not to make my identity about that.
But one thing I’ve loved about working in Boston is how many cultures I’ve been exposed to in my life.
