IS INDIA A VEGETARIAN COUNTRY?

The short answer is no. But vegetarians or those who are promoting a vegetarian diet have been in charge of India's nutrition policy since independence. Joining me to talk about these issues in more detail is Dr. Veena Shatrugna, the former Deputy Director at the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in India.
