Your percentages clash with the CIA Factbook, The US Department of State, and Indian factbooks.

The percentage is broken down as Hindu 81.3%, Muslim 12%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, Judaism 1.0%, other groups including Buddhist, Jain, Parsi at 2.5% (2000).

In terms of languages spoken there, English enjoys mainstream status and is the most important language for national, political, and commercial communication. Hindi is the national language.

Actually, I just got all my info from Indians that work here in my office. Those were the percentages they gave me. From their observations.

Actually one of the women I work with was at the Stock Exchange back in '92 (I think) when it was bombed (along with the Air-India, and other stuff).

She was pretty traumatized and suffered almost a post-tramatic shock type after the WTC attack.

I wouldn't be surprised that the "feelings" she carries for Muslim seperatists makes her perceive them more. She say's Muslims have a very big presence in India, especially Fridays.
