Brahmins in ancient India were a class of the learned. They were priests, doctors, teachers and ministers. Brahmins stayed away from white or red meat, fish, eggs and some foods that grow underground (they stayed away from beets, onions and garlic). They also stayed away from indulgent foods like sweets and spicy foods.
They mostly survived on fruit, vegetables, rice, wheat, boiled foods and milk.
The diet was definitely NOT vegan. It was pure vegetarian.
The belief was that meats and animal foods dull the brain. In order to stay sharp and intelligent, Brahmins took to vegetarian food. This continued for centuries.
In some coastal regions, Brahmins could not survive on vegetarian food as seafood was more widely available compared to vegetarian food. So some sects of Brahmins adapted to eating seafood and certain meats.
