Why presume that Indians are vegetarian? That most Indians are vegetarian seems implausible to me (although, yes, I bet they are much more likely to be vegetarian than Americans). Care to give a citation?
India has the lowest rate of meat consumption in the world. The plurality will eat meat, but some unknown percentage of that group will not prepare meat for consumption in their home, and only eat it when eating out.
(I did overestimate the prevalence of vegetarianism in India- I thought it was over half- but by only about 2:1.)
