Religions of India: Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism and Sikhism. Interreligious tolerance
India is one of the most tolerant countries to other religions. Hinduism is probably the most tolerant religion with others, as seen in the history of India in the last 2,500 years.
Hinduism has lived in peace with Parsees,
Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Jain.
The Chapter IV of the Bhagavad-Gita begins with one of the most beautiful and transcendental verses of Hinduism, which appreciate the tolerance of Hinduism to the other religions.
The most universal of these verses is the implicit acceptance of other prophets of the other religions. Many Hindus believe on the holiness of Jesus, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Guru Nanak, or Zarathustra.
This principle of universal tolerance (Harmony of Religions) is one of the greatest contributions of Hinduism to the global ethics, furthermore to the principles of truthfulness, detachment, and non-violence (Ahimsa).
Hinduism is a major religion in India. 80.5% of the Indian Population practices Hinduism, 960 millions of followers (2012) (Total population: 1,210 million people).
The Catholic Church Siro-Malabar (Eastern Catholic Churches) has 4.6 million.
After India, Hinduism is important in Nepal (23 million), Bangladesh (15 million), Indonesia -island of Bali (3.3 million), Mauritius, Guyana, Fiji, or Bhutan.
A perfect example of Hindu tolerance is that the former President of India, Manmohan Singh is Sikh.
Sikh population represents less than 2% of the Indian Population!
