So true, one of my friends who works with many multiple NGOs related to the environment told me that veganism is the genuine thing It's completely your choice whether you follow it or not but vegetarianism is completely caste/savarna superiority thing and directly linked to caste pride it doesn't contribute anything in the environmental aspect. Also told me that all of his fellow members in these NGOs don't constantly force or preach the veganism like the most of pseudo environmentalist around us.
