In his paper titled "Socio-cultural life of Vietnamese-Indian multicultural families in Ho Chi Minh City," Mr. Le Vinh Thao commented that the practice of vegetarianism has brought sustainable values to the relationship between Vietnamese-Indian families. The cultural exchange between Vietnamese and Indian families and individuals through vegetarianism has had many positive impacts, including acceptance and mutual respect between both families, support from spouses for cultural diversity, and encouragement of healthy lifestyles in the workplace. All of these contribute to creating a diverse, friendly, and humane social and working environment. These values not only enrich individual lives but also contribute to building a sustainable community and society.
