100%. The Hindutva push for "vegetarianism" doesn't come from any pro-animal liberation perspective. It's straight up casteist and islamophobic rhetoric - they believe "eating meat" makes people "impure". Thus pushing "vegetarian only" housing policy etc. is a way to segregate and discriminate against Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, Shudras etc.
Reminds me of how the nazis used animal rights to demonize jews for kosher butchery practices or how hogs nowadays rally against halal meat. In the latter case, this is usually coming from people who basically breathe pork and who'll dunk on vegetarians and vegans at every opportunity. The animal rights are just a flimsy excuse for persecuting people, in the same way as eurochuds love to portray muslims as sexist, antisemitic homophobes while being all of these things themselves.
Not defending carnism here, it's obviously not excusable to murder animals, just pointing out how fascists instrumentalize morality for concern trolling and villifying of minorities. Another example would be the propagandistic mainstay of painting the Chinese as a people of animal abusers.
It discriminates against non Muslim and non Hindus too. Just take the people from the north eastern states.
