Religions in Asia?

Question

I always thought that all Bengali's were Muslim, until I met a Hindu one. Are all Indian's Sikh or Hindu? And are all Pakistani's Muslim?

I know all of these countries were once joined or something and that's why the religions and some cultures have been spread.

But can anybody answer my questions? I've always wondered.

Answer 1

Well, there are Muslims in most Asian countries, including China.

There are also Baha'is in virtually all Asian countries, including Pakistan and Bengal. There are two million Baha'is in India.

Hinduism can also be found in a number of countries other than India. Sikhism is a minority religion in India, and very concentrated in one region, but it is one of the major Indian religions. There are Hindus in Pakistan.

Answer 2

The Muslims (as usual) fought the Hindu's for their own Islamic country, which they eventually got i.e. Pakistan

Some still are not happy (as usual) are still fighting (as usual) for more land i.e. Kashmir.

Pakistan's claim the Indian Hindus were Islamaphobic so they had to have their own Islamic states.

India is so Islamaphobic, it has one of the highest populations of Muslims in the world still!!

Most non-muslims have left Bangladesh and Pakistan cause of persecution from the muslim majority.

Answer 3

India is very diverse religiously speaking - Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains, Sikhs... I can't list them all because I don't know. Read Holy Cow by Sarah MacDonald. She ends up living in India with her partner and travels about exploring the different religions practiced there. Check the synopsis on this link:

Answer 4

Every person, has different religions, even though they have the same nationality. it is just that most Pakistanis are Muslims and most Indians are Hindus.

Answer 5

With the world becoming "smaller" due to internet and air travel, it is no wonder that there are a lot of traditional people that have changed their religion.

so a Malay - which majority would be Muslim, can be converted to say Christian maybe because he came across something or someone that allows him to understand that region better.

or Classius Clay the americian boxer became the famous Mohammad Ali. Or Cat Stevens - the singer that gives you Morning has broken - became a muslim.

A lot of mainland chinese - traditionally buddist are now christians.

there are many many more examples.
