Although many in the Hindu-influenced regions don't realize it, Jainism is chief reason why they do not consume meat.

India probably has the highest ratio of vegetarians.

This was the result of Jainist influence on the religions of the area.

All I know is that, no one can champion them in vegetarianism and non-violence.

Like all other religion,
Jainism....is having noble teaching to preach
Jainism....teaches and preaches,non violence.,may be due to Hinduism teaching and preaching of violence in Gita
Goddesses,like Kali,Durga.it is not much recognized
but other Asian countries still follow
Jainism and Buddhism. both have originated from India....but you can found more followers in other countries than in India.
