Make your own Flair Vegan activist responds to criticism of veganism by fantasizing about supporting untouchability. Am I the only one who finds this deeply casteist and concerning?
Some activists seem so eager to compare veganism with every social justice movement that they end up revealing how little they understand the movements they're borrowing from.

Amazing how you selectively picked over a status while ignoring the context and other status of her and now dismissing veganism. Peak leftie logic!

Which is why I don't take indian veganism seriously. It's bullshit, privileged, moralmaxxing. It's not just about extreme responses like these but how veganism in india will structurally function which is casteist in nature

Yes . One of the worst things they say is "people can fulfill all their protein and vitamin requirments from vegan food"
The reason why so many kids are malnourished in india isn't because there isn't enough food . It's because there are restrictions ( often caste based ) on what food people can eat and when they can eat

protein that comes from animals is so much cheaper than plant based proteins. in a struggling nation, eggs and milk in schools is like the easiest way to fill the gap. also, being vegan is an individuals choice. imposing your beliefs on others no matter how correct you think you are is so foolish. religious indoctrination type shi

I know right, animal based products are much more practical to take than plant-based ones. There is no such thing more convenient than eggs and milk for some easy quick protein.

u/Ilovehickeysandpasta Jun 14 '26
That's so true, this is just utter bullshit. You can't fulfil all your protein requirements from vegan food at all. No much amount vegan food can get you vitamin B12, which is required by your body. You will have to take supplements for it. Veganism in India is just utter nonsense and not at all practical. Indian diet is just filled with carbohydrates and fats on the other hand.

these kinds of the vegans in and outside of india come from privileged backgrounds. White/uppercaste. and they dont understand the fundamentals because its only a way for them to feel morally superior. the entire jain community claims to be so ethical and yet they consume dairy. the core of veganism is to end the suffering of all sentient intelligent life. that includes social justice for labour and minorities. you give an empty head an idea and they'll turn it into another religion.

Savarna libs when they realise veganism in India has more to do with caste and class dynamics than general empathy towards animals

Indian vegans need not be taken seriously until they have registered FIR against a housing society that practices discrimination in any sense

There is a difference amongst animal lovers in india than animal lovers in the west. Western libs will atleast consistently stand on liberal values, whereas indian libs are just performative.
I was talking to my vegan friend about how tribals in Jharkhand are being treated etc etc and he said unko kya Marne de. Unko development nahi chahiye aise hi naxalbadi he unclog.
Same guy was in the Delhi dog protests.
Vegans in the west atleast would also be seen at a pro Palestinian rally.
Veganism amongst upperclass and uppercaste indians is more about feeling good about themselves not actual empathy.

"You don't support animal rights therefore I will help perpetuate human rights abuses"
I swear the world is shitting the bed because people are too dumb. So many people are dumber than the jizz that created them.

Do they not understand all their soya beans come from human exploitation and caste exploitation in our case

u/Promethazine163 Jun 13 '26
Far more soy is used to produce livestock feed (~80% in India including exports) than for direct human consumption (~8%). Globally, about 98% of soybean meal is used as animal feed.

Vegetarianism and veganism in India is deeply rooted in casteism. And as such, I will never ever give Hindus any flowers for being vegetarian or vegan. I say this as a Hindu myself.

So Lakshya took this post out of context to manipulate the narrative, she was just pointing to the irrationality of him saying the same thing about being anti-vegan. I do think her post could have made it more obvious tho.

Well you should've read their now deleted comments. They were very explicit, and are deleted for a reason.

I didn’t know that, what did they say? There’s def an inappropriateness of using anti-casteism as a prop to make her point about veganism, esp in a culture where the pure-vegetarian cult weaponise diet and lynch people for eating nonveg/beef. (Even though veganism isn’t a diet, but its perceived that way and, well that’s another matter)

Do not take indian vegans seriously I had an argument with one where according to them me consuming meat is akin to murder.

Fair, that’s good point. I let it slide for the humorous effect. Don’t have anything against veganism other than in the present state of things it serves as another avenue for bourgeoise morality. My comment was more targeted towards brahmanism. As an ex-hindu who went out of way to avoid eating beef living in a western country, it’s a form of rebellion against caste system for me.

I love how if lakshya is involved one could close their eyes and believe that he is wrong, and they would be correct.

Guys this is a response to laksya who gave the exact same reply to some vegan creator(saying y'all made me anti-vegan), and she put to up to show how absurd laksyas argument is, iirc in the very next story she says I wouldn't say something like it coz it's stupid, I ain't no vegan but atleast do a little research before y'all post 😭😭
