Recent Pew research in India (2021)

The gist of the entire report was that Hindus, and India of all faiths is far more tolerant than some western media would have you believe. It came from a large sampling as well. Not surprising to me.

This is what I said about it in another forum:
That is what the Pewresearch article says. I have not +/- anything.
1. Majority of people feel that they have religious freedom in India, across the religions see respecting all religions as core value.
2. See themselves as very different from other religions.
3. But will like neighbors who follow the same religion (Ghettos, nothing much to do with other religions where they live, Of course, when they go out, interacting with people of other religions will be necessary. Buddhists are most accommodating in this respect). That I think is the comfort factor ..
.. and probably the cause of caste segregation.
