A lot of Indian cooking is vegetarian, not vegan. Ghee is very often used.

Not quite the same, but if you want to replace ghee with something vegan, try avocado or coconut oil. There is vegan ghee (made from palm oil I think?) but it's bad for you the same way old timey margerine is bad.

Incidentally, unprocessed red palm oil could be a nice replacement, but it has a characteristic earthy/almondy taste. I love it on fish dishes but it's not the taste you expect from Indian food I think.
