Hinduism and Islam are the two major religions in India; they each have several rules about food: what members of each religion can and can't eat.
Hindus aren't allowed to eat anything containing beef, and they cannot have meat from exotic/wild animals. Also, some sects of Hinduism encourage vegetarianism, but not all do.
Muslims cannot eat any meat from pigs, they cannot eat any blood at all, and any meat they do eat must follow certain rules: the animal must be hung upside down for long enough to drain all the blood, the animal must be slaughtered by a Muslim, and, lastly, the animal must not be slaughtered by being boiled or electrocuted. Sometimes Muslims will eat kosher food.
If anyone has anything to add to this, please leave a comment! Thanks!
