Talk:Indian vegetarian cuisine

Indian cuisine does not have to be vegetarian.

Indian vegetarian cuisine is among the most important of the vegetarian cuisines around the world. Thus it deserves separate discussion. It has own unique style and philosophy.

Some of the Indian cuisines are strictly vegetarian. However India is home to some important non-vegetarian styles as well.

I had noted that there were several links pointing to a non-existant "Indian vegetarian" entry, thus the Indian Vegetarian entry was anticipated.

Fair points, all, however I suspect you've misunderstood what a merge is - merging means putting the content of this article into the other one, not just a redirect so that this article would go straight to the other one as it stands. If this one stands alone the Indian cuisine article should have a link to this one, and I do suggest this be renamed as something like Indian vegetarian cuisine - the current title could refer to pretty much anything, from an Indian individual who was a vegetarian to a film about an Indian vegetarian. How about this: You expand this article as you are doing, and place a link somewhere appropriate on the main "cuisine" article with a summary and a "see main article - Indian vegetarian cuisine" (or similar) link to this one. Or, if this is going beyond just cuisine to the economic and ethical considerations, consider linking from other articles such as Vegetarianism. If you do rename it the "what links here" tool is useful! Tonywalton  | Talk 01:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, the what links here page fails to show any of these 'several links pointing to a non-existant "Indian vegetarian" entry'; the only link in mainspace is from Vegetarian cuisine, and you put that there, according to the edit history. Tonywalton  | Talk 01:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
