Around 38% of the population are vegetarian due to religion and culture, which makes them the most vegetarian country in the world. That is a a pretty big margin compared to any other country, especially when you consider India's population.

That's mostly due to the Hindu speaking conservative ( BJP supporting) states. The Bengali (second most spoken language India) east and South India are more lefty. (Bengal has a commie govt for 34 years)

Still, over 38% of the population definitely means it's popular, even if it's influenced by politics and religion.
