Hinduism by country
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
Hinduism has approximately 1.2 billion adherents worldwide (14.9% of the world's population).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world, behind Christianity (32.8%) and Islam (23.3%).<ref name=prcpercent>Table: Religious Composition (%) by Country Template:Webarchive Global Religious Composition, Pew Research Center (2012)</ref>
Most Hindus live in Asian countries, and the majority of Nepal and India are Hindus, and a significant number in Mauritius. The past two centuries have seen large-scale migration of Hindus from Southeast Asia, to around the world.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> Countries with more than 500,000 Hindu residents and citizens are (in decreasing order) India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United States, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Myanmar, Australia, Mauritius, South Africa, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.
There are significant numbers of Hindu enclaves around the world, with many in South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Hinduism is also practiced by the non-Indic people including the Balinese of Bali island (Indonesia), Tengger of Java (Indonesia), the Balamon Chams of Vietnam, and Butuanon people in Philippines.
Background
Hinduism is a heterogeneous religion and consists of many schools of thought. Hinduism includes a diversity of ideas on spirituality and traditions, but has no ecclesiastical order, no unquestionable religious authorities, no governing body, no prophet(s) nor any binding holy book; Hindus can be polytheistic, monotheistic, pantheistic, monistic, agnostic, humanist, or atheistic.<ref>Julius J. Lipner, Hindus: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices, 2nd Edition, Routledge, Template:ISBN, page 8; Quote: “(...) one need not be religious in the minimal sense described to be accepted as a Hindu by Hindus, or describe oneself perfectly validly as Hindu. One may be polytheistic or monotheistic, monistic or pantheistic, even an agnostic, humanist or atheist, and still be considered a Hindu".; MK Gandhi, The Essence of Hinduism Template:Webarchive, Editor: VB Kher, Navajivan Publishing, see page 3; According to Gandhi, "a man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu."</ref>
Early migration
One of the first major waves of Hindus leaving South Asia was a result of colonialism in India during 19th and early 20th century. Under indenture contracts, many Hindus migrated far across the world to Guyana, Surinam, Trinidad, Mauritius, South Africa, Eastern Africa, Fiji, Burma and Malaysia. These were some of the first countries with Hinduism established outside of the Indian sub-continent, many of which still have a thriving Hindu community today.<ref name=":0" />
Demographic estimates
Demographic estimates of Hindu populations by country have been published by the Pew Research Center in 2012,<ref name=prctotals>Hindu population totals in 2010 by Country Template:Webarchive Pew Research, Washington DC (2012)</ref> as well as US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2006.<ref name=usstate>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
By total number, India has the most Hindus. As a percentage, Nepal has the largest percentage of Hindus in the world, followed by India and Mauritius.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Hindu population around the world as of 2020 is about 1.2 billion, making it the world's third-largest religion after Christianity and Islam, of which nearly 1.1 billion Hindus live in India.<ref name="5 facts about religion in India">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> India contains 94% of the global Hindu population.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> According to a statistical study, an estimated 100 million Hindus live outside of India.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2010, only two countries in the world had a majority of their population as Hindus – Nepal and India.Template:Citation needed In Mauritius, 47.9 percent of the population were Hindu, according to the 2022 census.<ref name="2022 Census Religion">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

{{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||date=__DATE__ |$B= {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||date=__DATE__ |$B= Template:Ambox }} }} These percentages were calculated by using the above numbers. The first percentage, in the 4th column, is the percentage of the population that is Hindu in a specific region (Hindus in the region * 100/total population of the region). The last column shows the Hindu percentage compared to the total Hindu population of the world (Hindus in the region * 100/total Hindu population of the world).
(Note: Egypt, Sudan, and other Arab Maghreb countries are counted as part of North Africa, not the Middle East).
