There has been a lot of debate about #NonVegeterians being Hindu or not.
It's a very sensitive & controversial topi c to be touched. But it has to be put in some perspective
This is my attempt for that
#Thread
1)
Hinduism as we know is a way of life.
God is not a vindictive

2)
God but the ones who gives us choice.

There are certain laws that need to be followed & our God has taken various forms time to time to show us what must be the correct way of living.

In the evolution of Mankind, men was heavily dependent on Nature, animals & plants.
But

3)
As the civilization happened we could work around the better ways of creation what we need.

So basically it u see its not hard to miss

However, Hinduism always believed in empathy towards all sentient beings.

Unnecessary cruelty or k!lling

4)
Was always forbidden

If u take a look, all incidents of curse from Raja Dashrath to Shri Ram has been for Akhet or k!lling of animals for fun!

So definitely Hinduism believed in Animals having rights.

Coming to eating habits, the food had been divided into types

5)
Depending upon the kind of effects it has on the body
Some scriptures tell about what could be the effects of eating Non veg

But NO WHERE TO BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE IT SAYS PEOPLE EATING NON VEG ARE NOT HINDUS
EXCEPT BEEF

Beef has been clearly condemned bcoz the Cow & buffalo

6) were always revered. Also considered an asset.

Having said that there are
Lacto-vegetarian diets
exclude meat, fish, poultry, eggs, as well as foods that contain them. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt and butter, are included.
Ovo-vegetarian diets
exclude meat

7)poultry, seafood and dairy products, but allow eggs.
Lacto-ovo vegetarian diets
exclude meat, fish and poultry, but allow dairy products and eggs.

Pescatarian diets
exclude meat and poultry, dairy, and eggs, but allow fish.
Vegan diets exclude
meat, poultry, fish, eggs

8)
and dairy products — and foods that contain these products

The similar health benefits & harms explained by Science too.

However it is matter of choice except for Cow or higher evolved animals.
The simple reason being Cow is considered mother for multiple reasons

9)
& the more complex the development of an animal, the more unacceptable it is to the body.
Besides the domesticated animals like Dogs, cats also form a bond with the family, unlike the other religion

Hence the debate about some one being Hindu or not being Hindus shouldn't

10)
Come.
Except for the Beef or higher evolved animals.
Also H@lal must completely be shunned by Hindus bcoz it involves unexplainable brutality that also has effect on the meat that's consumed.
Apart from Being used for Anti National activities.

My humble opinion
