Lots. A whole lot. Very very many. Hinduism alone recognizes a few million--they may actually have one of the more accurate numbers, as Hinduism recognizes gods of other religions as well.

5. \n\n  they have all the legal/ constituotional rights and some times more rights than majority. for while they are allowed to open community schools and organnizations to propogate and preserve their culture those sects which are accepted in hinduism can not do so. hindu temples are taxed. muslims going to mecca are subsidised from government funds. they still have personal laws and for marriage divorce or inheritence they go by it. \n\n  in undevided india muslims were 14% of poplulation. in  pakistan area hindus were 23% and bagladesh 33%. now they are 2% and 10 % of the population in respective countries. but in india muslims are 20-30% of population. we have muslim immigraents legal and illegal both kind from all neighbouring countries. be it bangladesh , afganistan even pakistan. i doubt in any other country a community which gave the majority so many grivences will dare to go if they had any fear of being retaliated.\n\n  in india, majority of hindus behaves tolerantly. there have been a few hindu retaliations but each time it happenned when pushed too far by continuous  one sided provocations of minorities . \n\n    though i am getting worried if we could keep this fabric in future upto much extent. ongoing conversion to christianity drives are posing new challages to majority patience.\n\n   church has always resorted to theological deciet for conversion in india. they often pick local heroic stories and replace name of jesus with it. in Asam they replace name of rama and krishna with jesus in famous bar geets till the locals reacted angrily . last year on krishna janmashtami they set up stalls and the pictures based on krishna's life in Banglore. but they replced Krishna with infant jesus . all the famous devotees of Krishna were shown as they were worshipping jesus instead. \n\n Church congregations use harassment, ostracism and other forms of force to increase their flock. Non-converted portions of a family land into disputes with neo-Christian portions over funeral customs, ownership of land and other matters and this result in clashes between groups which newspapers promptly label as anti–Christian acts, whereas these are often clashes between converted and non-converted tribals.\n\nchristians mssionaries in India have often been a divisive force, which used the tribals for advocating a breaking-up of the country. Today, Christian terrorists feel emboldened to use the gun to force Jesus down the throats of unwilling tribals. North East india is the worst affected part.\n\n missionaries actively involve in bad mouthing local relegions. last year a mr cooper came on tourist visa. he not only violated visa rules he went on to call Krishna a satan and that Krishna is the cause of AIDS.they keep on behaving outragiously for conversion and when locals react even a bit they call it christian persecution. \n\nI sincerely hope that we will able to take this pressure in future too and will be able overcome it in a peacefull manner maintaing our own heritage, culture and beliefs. It is really unique. unity between diversity is our motto for at least 6000 years now.

Islam is but hinduism is gaining ground.  However, the fastest going is people leaving beliefs completely becoming either agnostic or athiests

I thought Hinduism was the dominant religion there... if you are talking about the sport... back in the day India was a British colony... cricket is a British sport... makes sense to me.

All the religions are true. \nThere are different religions for different people. No one is alike so they want different concepts as per their nature and social behaviors. Religion is meant to be true otherwise its not religion. Religion tells how a person should live his life to know that truth. \nwe have many choices and we are supposed to choose a religion tha fits to our likings, interests and culture.

What a great question!!!!! Thanks for asking. This is really neat.\n\nI'm a practicing Hindu.\n\nMy second-favorite religion would probably be Jainism. It stresses Ahimsa..nonviolence...of which I am a big fan of this sacred principal (practiced in Hinduism and Buddhism, too, but not to the degree of Jainism). I find myself very fascinated with so many of the teachings of Jainism and many of the similar practices between Hinduism and Jainism, and yet their differences...especially theologically.\n\nNow, just in case you are one of those folks that considers Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to all be part of the "Hindu" branch....then just in case, my answer would then be the religion of Baha'i (it's technically Abrahamic since it comes from Babism which comes from Islam which comes from Christianity which comes from Judaism...long strand there!). The Baha'i religion is very tolerant, very respectful of other religions (just as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism are). The Baha'is teachings are somewhat similar to Hinduism is some areas, but follow a more Abrahamic traditional approach. While their houses of worship are very different from Hindu worship and even Christianity's worship, it is still great. It is sort of like Unitarian-Universalism where there is a reading, some discussion, maybe some songs, etc. \n\nMy third would be Unitarian-Universalism....assuming you consider it a seperate religion....some consider it a denomination of Christianity. Mainly because of their tolerant views and their focus, not on a creed or religion, but on the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.

In fact, there are thousands of religions. The eight major ones in our world are Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shinto, and Taoism. Hinduism, Shinto, and Taoism developed over many, many centuries. Each of the others bases faith on the life or teachings of specific individuals: Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as Gautama Buddha, for Buddhism; Jesus Christ for Christianity; Confucius for Confucianism; Muhammad for Islam; and Abraham and Moses for Judaism

Buddhism and Catholicism are religions, not ethnicities.\n\nThere are 55 or 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in China, including the Han (the largest group), the Zhuang, the Manchu, the Hui, the Miao, Mongolians and many others. See list below.
