Published by Statista Research Department, May 20, 2013
According to India's last census details, Hindus made up the majority of the population in the country, followed by Muslims. At the same time, almost three million people did not state their religion for the census. India has historically been a religiously pluralistic and multiethnic democracy, with a substantial proportion of all major religions of the world along with several minority and tribal religions.
