Another good reason why the Sikhs need to seperate themselves from India.

India loves using English words but doesn't understand the actual English definitions.

And sometimes, of course, it has such a low understanding of the laws of English grammar it even uses nonsensical words such as 'Britisher'.

No, Amritdhari Sikhs need to stop describing themselves as 'vegetarian' because they are clearly not.

Idealy, they should recognise the extreme cruelty of the dairy industry and be vegan but if not, we need to come up with a new word that describes our dietary needs. At the moment we make ourselves look silly and amateurish if we don't even have a word for it. And clearly the right word is not vegetarian.

I agree with you. However, It never made sense to me that fish and eggs are vegetarian…

I'm pretty sure vegeterian covers fish.. research it.

maybe in India its different but here in Canada I'm 96% sure it includes fish and 75% sure it includes eggs too.

Vegetarians DONT eat Fish. That is Pescetarians.

Amritdhari Sikhs are Lacto-Vegetarian, have dairy but no Eggs.

I do understand that in western countries fish and eggs are included in definition, but it just sound odd. Vegetarian should only refer to someone who depends on vegetation, just plant based diet, you know what I mean.

Anyways, the link below clarifies that green dot on Indian products does not include eggs. They are safe for consumption.

Not even in Western nations. The definition is Universal.

From the oldest Vegetarian society in West, Vegetarian Society DONT eat Fish but do eggs.

I repeat, no Vegetarian eats Fish. That is a Pescetarian,

How someone who eats fish can be classed as 'vegetarian' I don't understand. 'Lacto-vegetarian ' would be the best description.

Lol, you guys are making things so complicated, even wikipedia clears this whole thing up in 1 second:

Don't forget, Amritdharis are NOT vegetarians. For example vegetarians, by definition, eat fish, thus many products that have a 'vegetarian' label on them are not actually suitable for Amritdharis. Amritdharis are somewhere between vegetarians and vegans.
