Goat has traditionally been the most common meat in India, and fish has been very popular for hundreds of years. Chicken not so much, it's very expensive there and reserved for special occasions. Pigs are eaten in a few regions, but not widely, because they compete directly with people for food resources, so are not economical.
India (2012) is the world's 5th largest producer of beef, the 7th largest consumer of beef, and the largest exporter of beef. Beef consumption has been rising rapidly in India and has now surpassed all other meats combined (much of this beef is actually buffalo, but a lot of cow is included). The government says there are 3,600 licensed slaughter houses in India, and at least 30,000 illegal slaughter houses.
I didn't serve any beef because I actually prefer other meats in most cases.
