WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Followers of Sikhism do not have a preference for meat or vegetarian consumption. There are two views on initiated or “Amritdhari Sikhs” and meat consumption. “Amritdhari” Sikhs (i.e. those that follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada-the Official Sikh Code of Conduct) can eat meat (provided it is not Kutha meat).

Detailed explanation-2: -Some Sikhs are vegetarian. The religion allows individual choice about meat consumption. However, it is forbidden to eat meat from animals slaughtered according to religious guidelines, and therefore Sikhs do not eat halal or kosher meat. Sikhs do not consume alcohol.

Detailed explanation-3: -The practice of vegetarianism is strongly linked with a number of religious traditions worldwide. These include religions that originated in India, such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism.
