Why is Everyone in Gokuldham Strictly Vegetarian? Even Abdul?"
One thing that’s always puzzled me about TMKOC is how everyone in Gokuldham Society is shown as vegetarian. Statistically speaking, at least one family in such a diverse society would eat non-veg, right? I mean, it’s India—we have people with all kinds of dietary preferences.
Take Abdul, for instance. Given his character and background, it would make total sense for him to be a non-vegetarian. But nope, even he is mysteriously vegetarian. And it’s not just that they don’t eat non-veg—they don’t even talk about it!
They’ve gone to places like Goa, where seafood is a huge part of the cuisine, and even to foreign countries, where non-veg is often a staple. Yet, no one even mentions it. No "I don’t eat this," no "This is interesting, but it’s not for us." It’s like non-veg food doesn’t exist in the TMKOC universe.
I get that the show caters to a family-friendly, largely vegetarian audience, but this feels too sanitized to be realistic. At least addressing the existence of non-veg cuisines or showing someone like Abdul enjoying non-veg food wouldn’t hurt, right?
What do you think—is this a creative choice, or just an oversight? Does it bother you that non-veg food is completely ignored in the show?
