Analysis by Pew Research Center reveals significant differences in the religious composition of Indian emigrants compared to the domestic population. While Hindus make up around 80% of India’s population, they constitute only 41% of emigrants. Conversely, Muslims and Christians are overrepresented among those who have left India, with 33% and 16%, respectively. This trend reflects broader migration patterns where religious minorities are more likely to migrate. Hindus, predominantly moving to distant countries like the US and UK, are less likely to emigrate compared to other religious groups.
