Mitradena, thanks for providing inputs. Yes there are differences in numbers. Not sure which source to trust.
By the way, as per the latest immigration records, as reported by India Abroad magazine few weeks back, there are 2.3 million people of Indian origin residing legally in USA. I am sure majority of these would be Hindus. So, even if we don't count the illegal immigrants, Hindus from other countries (South Africa, Guyana, Trinidad, Europe), Hindu converts etc., I think Hindu population of USA will still be much higher.
1 million Hindu converts in USA? Amazing if it is true. Do you have more information about that?
