Post it here if you disagree with a percentage of Hindus in a country. OneGuy 02:27, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Top 25 table
the top 25 table is not consistent. while it says the percentage of hindus in Indonesia is 7% in the population wise list, the top 25 list according to percentage of total population puts the Indonesian figure at 1.81%. the total hindu population in indonesia is also inconsistent. which one is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohanr84 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Hinduism in the United States of America
I am skeptical of the population figure for Hinduism in United States. I had seen many sources that put the Indian population in U.S. at about 1.6 million. It is highly unlikely that 1,478,670 or about 93 % of this population is Hindu. Adherents.com put the Hindu population in U.S. at 910,000, which seems about right. http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_hindu.html .
- The adherents.com figure is from 1997. The population of Indians in America has increased by somewhere over 80% over the decade, primarily through emigration. Also, not all Hindus in the United States of America are classified as Indian American. There are communities of Nepalis, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, and Indo-Caribbean Americans all of whom have Hindu components, in addition to a number of converts especially to the Hare Krishna movement.

Hinduism in Turkey
This page contains the exact same text as the Hinduism in Arab States article. Turkey is not an Arab state. Tukey is, belive it or not, an Turkish state. Simple enough, isn't it?

I saw someone writing there are only 1,600,000 East Indians (Indian Americans) in USA. As of 2005 there are an estimated 2,000,000 of them in USA. The earlier figure (1.687 million is solely derived from 2000 census and is not valid now. In addition to the Asian Indians, there are also Guyannese Esat Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, Indonesian Balinese, Nepalis.etc who are Hindus but not included in the census as Asian Indian. So I think your figure of 1.478 million is pretty accurate.

Can anyone tell me how to expand this article? I mean which sections need expansion...
Where exactly are you getting your percentages?
Sometime ago, I used the percentages here quoted for Iran for the article Hinduism in Iran. It apparently says .1% (or 68,017 people) of the population. I vaguely remember checking this percentage, but I do not recall where exactly in the 2004 report does it state this percentage. If anyone would be so kind as to show me where exactly I can find the quote of .1%, I would appreciate it. Siyavash 20:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
The percentage of Hindus in Bangladesh seems a little high, it lies somewhere around 11-12%.

Final graph.
The previous post mentions being able to understand the final graph. However, if the left column is by population, India should be first and Nepal second. Then, the right column would be Nepal first and India second, with the populations adjusted accordingly. I don't know how to edit a graph like this, but it seems wrong to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bruske (talk • contribs) 15:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
- Something's wrong with the table. The last row says that the world population of Hindus is over 6.6 billion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokie Tech (talk • contribs) 16:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Hindus in the Philippines
Percentage of Hindus is off compared to Hinduism in the Philippines, 2% is too high. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wng (talk • contribs) 11:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
Some suggestion
Some suggestions!
Hi everyone!
I am managing the articles of Buddhism by country (with User:Bikeable);List of religious populations and a little of Christianity by country (with User:Vexorg) and maybe I hope in near future,I can contribute for projects of another religions as soon as possible!
The first;I think we need to update new census of July 2007 from source from http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/idbrank.pl which is I think is the most exact!And total population of the World as July 1,2007 is 6,671,226,000.I made it for Buddhism first!
The second;I think we should make the new style for all article of any religious populations by country (Buddhism by country; Islam by country; Hinduism by country) just like Christianity by country did with minimum percentage and maximum percentage from many sources (government,CIA,etc...).But in my mind and mostly people we all know the populations of Christianity, Islam, Judaism or Hinduism could estimate nearly right but with Buddhism,it is very HARD!Some sxample:
- Christianity in France (51%-85%), Belgium (38-84%),etc...
- Buddhism in China (21.3%-80%), South Korea (27-48%),etc...
How do you think about my suggestions?
And I want to invite User:Vexorg (Christianity), User:Opticals and User:OsamaKBOT (Islam), I with Clay Collier and User:Bikeable (Buddhism);etc...to found "The Union of Wiki Project Religions".So I want to hear your opinions and replies about that!
Contact me about that on my talk page:

Top 25 chart is confusing
Confusing because it lists more than one country within each of the 25 ranks. Please, if they are actually two charts please separate them and eyplain what is what.
Hindus in Indonesia
How come there are almost 17 millions Hindus in Indonesia? If this is true, I will celebrate the fact. Unfortunately I doubt it. Meursault2004 (talk) 17:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
