In which religion is vegetarianism mandatory for everyone?

Laudy Miss Claudy, I just Googled the Mahatma's religion and he was a follower of the Sanatani sect of Hinduism, which is the tolerant and liberal of the Hindu sects.

Laudy Miss Claudy, MG was not a Jain.

dementedduck1, all vegetarian people don't eat meat ans sea food only vegetables and fruits vegetarian are eating

I can’t and won’t kill any bugs.. I appreciate the people that can follow this religion..

Jainism is very peaceful from what I know.

dementedduck1, Gandhi is non jain (I am from India)

Laudy Miss Claudy, he was not Jain

I understand that Jains would not eat plants like potatoes or carrots because to pull up the whole vegetable would in effect kill the plant. Therefore beans, corn, etc would be OK!

Purple Kitty, No, he was a Hindu baniya ( merchant class)

Some Hindus also follow veganism. When Hindus practice veganism they become ovolactovegatarians. If they do eat forms of meat, they don't eat beef, lamb, or pork, and allow themselves fish or shrimp.

Player #21173880, I knew a Jain many years ago and he ate meat, including pork. He said they did not use utensils, however, preferring to eat w/their hands. It embarrassed him to eat with others, however, since he did not know how to use a knife, fork, or spoon.

Arohanui, even Jesus ate fish

Mahatma Gandhi was a Jain.
