RMAESH SINGH SUMAN 12th November 2009	ACCORDING TO ME THERE ARE NO ANY RELIGION WHICH IS IS KNOWN BY US / THERE IS ONLY ONE RELIGION - HUMAN RELIGION,< MANAV RELIGION
Ravi Varma (Cambridge, MA, USA) 5th February 2009	Why is it that in the table above, we have to go down to the bottom before the majority religion of India -- Hinduism -- is listed? Why are trivial stats -- 8 Catholic deacons, for example -- and other Christian and Islamic stats shown before the bare statistics for Hinduism? Does not the H of Hinduism come before the I of Islam, if an alphabetical listing is to be attempted? This table seems to be formatted to marginalize the place of Hinduism in India. Most ridiculous and unfortunate, showing bias at worst or thoughtlessness at best, both to be deplored in a factual compendium.
pradnya (pune) 27th February 2007	its good that you have given the statistic of religion, but it is sad that you are egnoring the buddhist population in india. & population of those buddhist who converted into Buddhism with Dr.Ambedakar & mentioned themselves as buddhist in census.
Vikramaditya 4th January 2006	I don't believe there is any such thing as Hindu fundamentalism. Hindus never go around forcing others to convert to Hinduism. Hinduism teaches toleration and it is in our culture to respect other cultures. However, if others attack the Hindu culture, it is not wrong if we protect ourselves. In Kashmir, Islamic terrorists kill and torture many people. Kashmir is a very backward state, economically. So-called fundamentalist Gujarat is a leading state in India. It leads in infrastructure, growth, and industries. If India is Hindu, it will be better for the economy since Hindus are very business-oriented people. And speaking of religious fundamentalism, why are Hindus the only ones mentioned? We form 80% of the population and we have a right to the country of our birth. Islamic fundamentalism also exists but it does not originate in India. And the forceful conversion of Hindus to Christianity is fundamentalism as well.
J 21st November 2005	what are Indians traditional colours
john s shilshi 12th July 2005	In this tabulation, only Catholics are shown as Christians in India. What about the other denomination Christians which are much higher in number than the Catholics? the Baptists for example? The calculations seems to be with some errors.
jeevanandam 16th June 2005	In India it is mentioned that 81.3% is Hindu. The funny thing is this is the only religion in the world which has NO CLEAR DEFINITION whereas all other religions have.I feel this estimation is not correct.
