When Fa-hsein visited India in the early fifth century he reported that no respectable person ate meat, the consumption of which was confined to low castes. He probably exaggerated, but certainly by this time many Hindus of the higher classes were vegetarians. The growth of vegetarianism was of course linked with the doctrine of non-violence, which was already old at the time of Fa-hein. It was known in the days of Upanishads and was elaborated by Buddhism and Jainism, which were largely responsible for the gradual disappearance of the greater Vedic sacrifices at which large numbers of animals were killed and eaten. The reign of Asoka is a landmark in the development of vegetarianism, for he encouraged it by his own example, and forbade outright the killing of many animals.

Personality is not an inborn endowment but an acquired disposition arising out of constant interaction with people around. Since birth, every human being is interacting with a variety of people and every experience leaves an imprint on one’s personality. Mother, father, brothers, sisters, friends – all influence the development of a child. Whereas an animal develops quite fast and functions autonomously within a few years, human beings have a prolonged period of development – infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. This expanded span is necessary for the acquisition of skills, knowledge and attitude that comprise one’s personality.
