I went to lunch with others from work. Some were from India. Table was full of food for us to dive into. One gentleman was offered pizza and refused due to pork pepperoni as he continued to scarf down his pulled pork nachos. He had already polished off 3/4 of them at this point. So I didn’t say anything because I did want to be the one to tell him he is going to hell, if that is what he believes happens if he eats pork. What happens to Indian people who eat pork? What happens to American people when they don’t tell the Indian guy that he is porking down pork?

The guy was probably a muslim. We're forbidden from eating pork and he is probably unaware that he was eating pork. Nothing will happen to him because God forgives those who eat it while unaware, but he should have been more careful.
Nothing happens to you, but I suggest warning any muslim if you notice them eating pork because we are very grateful if you do so! If a muslim is knowingly eating pork, then you don't need to argue or convince them so I'd just let them be.

If he is okay with eating non vegetarian but not pork, and is a Hindu, it's not that big a deal for him probably. Many hindus don't eat pig but it's not based on any scriptures specifically when they do wat mutton and chicken. It's just that they consider it dirty perhaps or its not common.
