I'm sorry I understated the economic gains of Rajasthan, I haven't been there in 11 years.
I say it this way because despite the recent elections and my experience running English speaking online vegan spaces has been over the past 10 years so for many years now BJP goons have been coming into my vegan communities for years trying to explain how their fascist bullshit is compatible with veganism.
Additionally no one is attacking them for being poor, it is just in reality the "vegan scene" which was the question is not common in places around the world because veganism is still a niche philosophy. I understand the diet there is vegetarian heavy but if it is without intention of being vegan then is not vegan. I don't actually believe in terms of veganism that someone who is a part time vegetarian is "doing better" than a vegan. They are totally different things for different reasons. I don't really believe there is a spectrum of how much you can respect animals and their natural rights to live, you either abstain 100% or you are not vegan.
Animal rights oriented veganism is not the main driver for most vegetarians in India thus they are not vegans. It also just happens that the ones educated enough to go on the English internet and try and join vegan communities are high caste people who are the same people are conservative BJP losers.
Sure man, seems like youre taking on a pretty stressful job, but again no one here but you is bringing up Hindutva, and maybe in a more peaceful time you can recalibrate and assess whether your words are impacting the way I think you'd like them to.
Why do you support it?
It is not just me, this was on reddit today https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/1egy5yj/comment/lfwoov1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
This is why I bring up Hindutva, because in the context of vegan and a vegan scene there will not be the same kind of scene as here and that people are expecting. Also anyone who believes in it will get site banned from my lemmy instance for being a fascist.
If it upsets you when bring these things up, work harder get rid of RSS and all their goons by any means necessary and we never need to talk about it again.
