Best Answer

Yes, depending on the Hindu and the type of Gelatin.

Gelatin is made from the bones and connective tissues of domesticated animals like cows, pigs and horses. Of this list only cows are considered sacred to Hindus - so a Hindu who eats pork would be able to eat pig gelatin.

Hindus are commonly vegetarian, but some Hindus do choose to eat meat. Those that do eat meat generally don't eat beef products because of the sacredness of the cow.

If you were desperate to give jelly to a Hindu you would have to find one who is not vegetarian AND find a gelatin source that did not involve cattle.
