Analysis by Pew Research Center reveals significant differences in the religious composition of Indian emigrants compared to the domestic population.

This trend reflects broader migration patterns where religious minorities are more likely to migrate. Hindus, predominantly moving to distant countries like the US and UK, are less likely to emigrate compared to other religious groups.
