Quite the contrary, It is 86% Christian,

The Mizoram of today is unrecognisable nearly a century later. 46% of the population live in urban areas, nearly 86% profess Christianity, and the state has an impressive literacy rate of 88.06%. >>
85.73% Christians (Presbyterians, Baptists, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, Seven Day Adventists, United penticosts, and other denominations) 7.83% Buddhists, 5.04% Hindus, and 1.40% other professed religions

Doubt if it is any more or less vegetarian than other parts of India. Eating animals in India is IMHO, is not as bad (on the environment), as w the exception of chickens, & fish the animals are not factory farmed. In that sense, the animals harvest for man that part of the biosphere that he cannot directly use. The sight of little goats prancing around in India's villages seemed pretty idyllic and natural to me, they feed on branches and vegetable waste, and if they are consumed as food, oh well, pretty small footprint still.
India ia very difficult to figure out, 1+1 is seldom 2. Mizoram is not as densely populated, and is a mountainous region with not much of regular farming. It maybe due to high literacy, or due to New Farming movements in neighboring Bangladesh called Naya Krishi.
It might be a good development if all farming is done organically, but not as good if forests are replaced with farms, even if organic.
Most interesting that the state would make an official announcement though. |
