BBC World Service - The Food Chain, India: Faith, Food, and Politics

Faith, food, and politics in the world's largest democracy.

What the intersections between food, faith, and politics tell us about the world’s largest democracy.

How food, identity, religion, and politics are changing the way India eats. Anu Anand visits Mumbai’s biggest slaughterhouse to assess the economic impact of a total ban on beef and explores the right of an individual to choose what they eat in the world's largest democracy. Plus, we visit a holy town that is seeking to become fully vegetarian, leaving some of its residents feeling unwelcome.
