By "exceptions" I meant "people". Not actual rules written in a book.



I was indeed responding to this meaning. I was commenting that it's perfectly possible for a community to be Brahmin and yet be meat eating. Just that it's not mainstream. In India, the very first assumption one makes the moment they hear Brahmin/Jain is that they must be pure vegetarians.


I would still want to connect Jain with no meat. Brahmins & meat eater is almost fifty fifty.
