Global Hindu Footprint - Spread Beyond India

[Guest]

The only report I have is from the Hinduism Today group.
ISKCON alone is said to have 200,000 members.

This all heresay. No concrete stats to back it up.

Here are some more numbers for Hindus in other countries sorted by rank:

Nepal 21 million
Bangladesh 12.1 million
Indonesia 5.9 million
Sri Lanka 2.2 million
South Africa 1.43 million
UK 1.3 million
Malaysia 1.29 million
Pakistan 1.2 million

Mauritius 700,000
Fiji 600,000
Guyana 450,000
Trinidad 320,000
Gulf states 310,000
Bhutan 300,000
Myanmar 294,000
Reunion 290,000
Suriname 200,000

Netherlands 180,000
Singapore 171,000
France 150,000
Afghanistan 130,000
Germany 100,000
Australia 75,000

Martinique & Guadaloupe 50,000
New Zealand 47,000
Brazil 25,000


The big surprises were Brazil with 25,000 Hindus and Martinique with 50,000.

I was also surprised that Panama had only 600 Hindus.
I thought the number was much higher.
