Still though, one unifying factor of India is it's long history of Hinduism, and Hindu resiliance to outside cultures.

That means that although India is one nation now, the seperate states within that country have cultures which in some ways are much more isolated from one another than in the US for example. They have more history within each state (than the US) and perhaps less shared history between states*

That might need more clarification at some point!

and don't forget pakistan and bangledesh were once part of imperial india, but were broken off for the muslims

Yep, they split the Punjab right down the middle so lots of the Sikhs got pissed off and all came over to the UK. One of the leaders in Hyderabad (predominantly Muslim city in South India, Andhra Pradesh I think) tried to have his city declared independent from the rest of India in 1947 too! Its in the middle of the country!

What has this to do with meat eating?

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
