When someone mentioned fast foods, fifty percent of the people would say 
McDonald’s. Some of it might think of that red-striped gay bee and others might go for BK. That unmistakable red logo with its golden-yellow arches of the 'M' is a familiar sign to the world of fast food eaters in a lot of countries around the world...and India is no stranger to it. But for most Westerners, to whom McDonald's may signify the familiar taste of the Big Mac or the Double Cheese Beef Burger, the McDonalds Menu in India may come as a bit of a surprise. Among other differences, the first thing an outsider will notice is that the signature snack and probably the most recognizable symbol of this Fast Food Giant is nowhere to be found in an Indian McDonald's....I'm talking about the Hamburger! You heard me right- No Hamburgers. That's not to say the Indian McDonald outlets don't sell patties on buns...it's just that...there’s no beef or pork in McDonald’s India branches.
Instead of ground beef and pork patties, the McDonald's Menu in India features Indian burgers that are 100 percent vegetarian - burger look-a-likes of potatoes, peas, and carrots, with a little Indian spice thrown in. So what most Indian kids grow up to know as a hamburger, isn't really a hamburger.
Since a majority of the population are followers of Hinduism, there is no beef on the McDonalds' menu in India. Hindu's and Muslims (also a prominent religion in India), don't eat pork, so the McDonalds Corporation in India is quick to point out on their website (mcdonaldsinindia.com) that not only is there no beef, there is no pork or pork byproducts in any McDonalds restaurant in India.
