This is what I-Tsing (635 CE-?), Chinese pilgrim (Sanskrit name Pragnadeva), observed abt abstinence from onions among Indians of all classes contrary to today’s popular belief that only Brahmins or upper class avoid onion👇 #History #india #bharat #onions #food #abstinence

“Indian abstinence from onions: When I was in the Nalanda monastery, I discussed this point with the Dhyana master Wu-hing, but we were doubtful still and could not exactly distinguish one from the other...

.. None of the people of all the five parts of India eat any kind of onions, or raw vegetables, and therefore they do not suffer from indigestion; the stomach and the intestines are healthy, and there is no trouble in their becoming hard and aching.”
