Specifically wrt to vegetarianism, non meat-eating Indians cannot be classified as intolerant (which is central to NNT's claim). Specific beef intolerance has become very vocal of late and you can see the effects across various parts of the country through local legislation banning beef sales and consumption. One could argue that this beef ban follows NNT's arguments.

Taleb's argument is not that a majority can force its will on the minority, it is the exact opposite of that.
