Washington: The US Think Tank 'Pew Research Center' based in Washington has conducted studies on various religions in India and released its report. According to research by Pew, India's population is diverse and has great faith in religion. Most Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs in the world live in India, but at the same time, they are also one of the most Muslim populated countries in the world. The population of Buddhists and Christians is also in the millions. According to Pew Research Center, they conducted a survey of 29,999 Indians in 2019-20 before the corona crisis, studying nationalism, religious faith, and tolerance.
