> so like people who eat chicken and pork? i know many religious hindus are vegeterians, but the way you used that term in context of politics is unusual to see. modi is from the western state with 49% vegetarians and in general his party pushes vegetarianism and a related form of hinduism even though all manner of carnivory is completely compatible with hinduism, including eating beef (i'm from a state with more than 99% carnivores and while i am a hindu, i relish beef as my ancestors have done).  so to tie this back to the original topic, it's quite likely that modi has never touched let alone tasted an egg in his entire life and that kind of delineation has become political in india. for a party to aspire to national appeal, it has to set aside even dearly held personal beliefs because it can't do without the support of people who are very different. so here i live, a short drive away from where modi lives and i get to eat beef and no one bothers me not because modi doesn't care but because its not worth the hassle.  same thing with trump. he needs to make peace with hispanics and blacks and yes, even most queers or the actual important things he needs to do with the economy and illegal immigration and drilling for oil and taming the fed won't get done.
