According to the sample registration system (SRS) baseline survey 2014 released by the registrar general of India, 71% of Indians over the age of 15 are non-vegetarian. The percentage of non-vegetarians across the country however has dropped from 75% in 2004.
The data shows that Telangana has the highest number of non-vegetarians with 98.8% men and 98.6% women enjoying their meat, fowl and fish.
Among the other states with a high non-vegetarian population are, West Bengal (98.55%) Andhra Pradesh (98.25%), Odisha (97.35%) and Kerala (97%).
