This article was nominated for merging with Diet in Hinduism on 24 November 2011. The result of the discussion was Merge Hindu dietary law into Diet in Hinduism.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Hindu dietary law was copied or moved into Diet in Hinduism with this edit on 5 January 2012. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Division of this article[edit]

The flag suggests that this article be divided, and its length suggests that this is a good idea. However, the structure and organization of the text makes that task a bit difficult. I divided out the discussion of food and the ascetics (defined broadly, I admit), but more could be done. However, it may be necessary or prudent to rewrite the text first. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 18:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
