There is an entire such country with over a billion people in Asia where almost half the population is vegan/vegetarian. I'll leave you to guess which one. It's not about price, but rather accessibility. Their entire food economy is centered around it. Modern western diets push meat way more than others. You do NOT need it every single day.
Just so you know, India is the largest contributor of undernourished people in the world so that fact might complicate the position you’re advocating.

Curry is definitely a very efficient and enjoyable way of making a vegetarian meal ;)
