Yes, Hindus can eat pork. It is the Mulsims and Jews that specifically don't eat pork.

However, many Hindus and Buddhists are vegetarian and do not eat any meat due to their belief in reincarnation. It is not compulsory to be vegetarian and there is no specific prohibition against eating pork.

they can eat pig but not cow, as it is holy

--

Many do not eat pork, because it is considered dirty. Pigs are always found in and around the dirt and going through digging-in waste. As a result many Hindus will not consume pork.

Some Hindus are strict vegetarians, but a lot of them do eat meat. Beef is restricted for the Hindus on religious grounds, although a lot of Hindus living in the West do eat Pork and even Beef.

No! Cow is sacred to Hindus. Beating a cow is a great sin so just think how about eating her?

What religion doesn't eat pork or beef?

Jews (Judaism) and Muslims (Islam) do not consume pork. Hindus (Hinduism) do not consume beef. However, there is no religion where both beef and pork are forbidden, but other forms of meat are permitted. There are vegetarian religions, such as Jainism and Buddhist Monks are vegetarian as well.Since India has large populations of both Hindus and Muslims, Indian cuisine has historically avoided both pork and beef to avoid offending the two religions. This persists in many Indian restaurants in the Diaspora today, which do not have beef or pork selections on their menus even if the owners and workers are all Hindu or all Muslim.


How many people in India eat pork?

LOGICALLY, since India is a country and not a religion then it's possible that the "rules" are not the same for everyone. I'm sure that some Indians are vegetarian, some eat beef, some eat pork, and contrarily some cannot. Just like in America, France, England, Poland, Sudan, etc. the rules aren't the same for everyone.AnswerSome do. Obviously the Muslims don't, and there's about 150 million of them in India, about 12% of the population. Some Hindus don't eat meat. As for the Hindus and others who eat meat, it's not the most popular meat, but it exists. It's most popular in the Northeast of India, as they have a culture similar to Southeast Asia, where pork is popular.
