Worldwide, veganism is unique than the other "movements" because in addition to an "ism" it is a lifestyle also. Indian society is the most diverse -- class, religion, caste, linguistic groups, regions, etc. define lifestyles and vegans are bound to "fit" their veganism as per their lifestyle. I think in this sense, "unity" will always be a myth, especially if vegans do not respect each other's freedom to profess their veganism as they want to. I think the need is to strengthen each change agent the way they aspire and encourage them to weave more and more people in adopting the vegan lifestyle. In that sense, the vegan mentors need to be open-minded.Amritanoreply@blogger.com
