Religion
The Indian state sees itself as a secular state. The constitution (Article 15) guarantees freedom of religion, places all religious communities on an equal footing and forbids any kind of discrimination on the basis of a certain religious affiliation. Bound to the general legal framework prescribed by the state, the religious communities have the right to set up religious institutions and to organize their religious affairs freely (Article 26).
According to data from the last census (2011), Hindus make up the majority of the population with 79.8%.
The largest religious minority with a population share of 14.2% are Muslims, of whom around two thirds are Sunnis (the majority of the Hanefi school of law ; smaller groups of Shafiites), around one third are Shiites (mostly Imamites ; smaller groups of Ismailis); in Jammu and Kashmir Muslims make up the majority of the population with over 8.5 million. With over 172 million Muslims, India (after Indonesia and Pakistan) is the country with the third largest Muslim population in the world. According to the official census, around 2.3% of the population is Christian. However, this number is more than twice as high according to independent religious statistics. (According to this, around 1.8% of the population are Catholics [including Catholics of the Syromalabarese and Syromalankar rites; Syrian churches ], around 1.7% are “traditional” Protestants [especially Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans; a total of around 250 “larger” denominations], around 1.5% belong to Indian independent churches and around 0.4% are Orthodox [especially Syriac Orthodox; Jacobites ]). The traditional center of Indian Christianity is the Malabar Coast (Thomas Christians). In northeast India, the Christians in Nagaland (approx. 1.74 million), Mizoram (almost 1 million) and Meghalaya (a good 2.2 million) make up the majority of the population. About 1.7% of the population officially profess Sikhism , which is particularly widespread in north-west India. In Punjab , the Sikhs make up the majority of the population with around 16 million. 0.7% of the Indian population are Buddhists. In the form of Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhism is widespread in northeast India (Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh) and in Jammu and Kashmir (Ladakh). Of the approximately 4.45 million Jainas (0.4% of the population) live around 580,000 in Gujarat (around 100 temples in Ahmadabad). Other religious minorities are the Parsees (in Mumbai and Gujarat), the Bahais and the Ahmadija movement (Ahmadija), which is active in missionary activities in India. Most of the nearly 5,000 Jews live in Mumbai and Kolkata. The Cochin Jews (Beni Israel) who lived on the Malabar coast, with the exception of a few families, emigrated to Israel. The first Jewish communities in India are in the 2nd century BC. On the Konkan coast (Konkan), founded by Jews who fled Galilee. According to non-governmental surveys, traditional folk and tribal religions have been preserved, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh (around 35% of the population), Bihar (around 14%) and Meghalaya (around 16%).
Within Hinduism, fundamentalist currents have gained considerable influence since the late 1980s (Fundamentalism). Contrary to the constitution and the secular understanding of the state, the Hindu organizations that support them try to gain direct influence on legislation through political parties closely related to them, with a particular focus on legal conversion bans, which prevent Hindus from changing their religion, and, increasingly, members of lower castes Practicing casteless people (converting to Islam, Christianity, Buddhism), forbidding them and making them a criminal offense. Intimidation and violence (often directed against Christian families and institutions) that have recently been practiced against non-Hindus by Hindu extremists in many cases should be classified in this context.
