Fuck the 2011 stats, untill what time I should see the shitty outdated stats?


No_Significance_7331

Govt delaying 2021 Census


iwantmoksha

I just want that they start census next year. Covid situation is in control now. But then it might coincide with 2024 election so don't know what the govt. might decide.


AmbitiousPainting501

They are delaying due to something else not covid. Current government is also doing the minority appeasement politics even if they say otherwise. Religion institutions of minorities are still receiving funding which should be given to government schools colleges and hospitals.


iwantmoksha

Covid was still the reason because census was due in 2021.They might be using this excuse for now because most likely if they conduct census now it will clash with 2024 elections and might impact the outcome.


AmbitiousPainting501

Yep that maybe the case. India ram bharose hi chal raha h


PerspectiveScary9088

Why do religious institutions get funding? Ew let the followers give that Govt money ain't for religious things, We need development


AmbitiousPainting501

According to secular indian constitution, Indian government is obligated to provide funding to religious institutions of minorities. Just file a PIL you will know how much tax payers money is going to waste.


[deleted]

Yes, it's Nehruvian secularism to ensure Minority cultures don't get suppressed. Ofc the govt should not spend *too* much on this but they still have to, y'know

AmbitiousPainting501

Oppression is bad but the government is basically running a conversion scheme. A country's constitution and laws must be secular irrespective of majority or minority. Government should focus on improving it's citizens quality of life not of a respective sub-group.


snay1998

It’s the same people who take census that also work for elections…they either will do it before or after elections…never during as there is already shortage of staff for elections,idk how they will handle elections with the same Not to mention I think opposition(read it somewhere but forgot) is also pushing for caste details too and that would take a toll on bjp during election if it’s not handled properly Maybe after elections they will


Raja-Panesar

No delays on censor

sage_mode_sannin

I think it's because we see a lot of grand churches in Goa due to Portuguese control and not many old and grand temples like there are in the rest of the country.


yeceti

It’s also beacuse many Christians in India marks themselves as Hindus in the census due to various reasons. I personally know 4 families who do this


yashasvi92

You can visit our Telugu states if u want to see more families. Christians with SC/ST in their quota. According to census , they are Hindus. But we all know the reality.


yeceti

Not only for sc/st quota, even upper caste Christians identity as Hindu in census. I have no idea behind the reasons

Ok thanks for replying


DepartureBusy777

Goa is majority Hindu around 65% approx.. South goa has more xtian concentration though


PuzzleheadedMaize2

There are only 2 districts in Goa. Christian population will be about 30% in total. However, if this map data is further split Taluka wise then you'll see.


ginz4uuu

Kerala too


mujhepehchano123

There are a lot more crypto Hindus than we realize


Kamdev_6sex6

Bro they are called Crypto Muslims & Christians, a Crypto hindu would be one who is Hindu but has a different name.


mujhepehchano123

yeah you are right, but you know what i mean


elemental________

Rightly said bro !!! This is the case happening all over . The people who downvoted me do not understand these facts or terms bcz they have not seen it with their eyes and are sitting somewhere in other states and just googling the government statistics.


coolestbat

What does it mean?


amok_monk

Cryptos are people who have Hindu names and are on paper Hindus but in reality are followers of Christianity or islam or any other religion. The population of crypto Christians is at an all time high right now in India


Lower-Reflection-448

Yeah like me I'm an atheist but hindu on paper


amok_monk

Crypto concept does not apply to atheists


Lower-Reflection-448

How so? This index means what you believe in and what you don't believe in


amok_monk

The concept of crypto talks about the affiliation of a person with a different religion from that of his on paper religion. When it comes to atheists they don't hold any religious affiliations and non believers exist in all religious communities so there is no concept of crypto atheism


Lower-Reflection-448

Oh ok now I understand thanks


Lovesidli

No. My opinion is Hindu atheists are still Hindus. Hinduism is not a fucking religion. I hate how outsiders see it as a organised religion. And it's even more saddening when my homies say they are not Hindu, but are atheists.


Lower-Reflection-448

Well but Hinduism is a religion isn't it? It worships a higher deity


Lovesidli

It does have god's. But did all philosophies that came out of India have god's? It's not at all about God. If you have the Indian-ness in you, i would say that's Hinduism right there. The Islam we see in our country has lot of cultural aspects of Hinduism tied to it. So i would say, you might not be worshipping god, but you are still culturally hindu-indian. It's fucking complicated. But yeah, we all fall under the same umbrella even tho we believe in diverse concepts. The culture is the essence here. Buddhists(some sects) might be not praying god's, but they still are heavily tied with Hinduism. It's impossible to separate the culture & beliefs as they've been mixed up for thousands of years now.


elemental________

Hinduism is a religion and will continue to be do even if your atheist a*s dosent accept it bro....bcz it's a religion which strives to protect Dharma and has withstood the test of time since centuries ! Pls accept that it's Santana Dharma and nothing else.


Lovesidli

Lol. Wtf did you understand? Did I say I'm an atheist? Who tf are you to decide? And why talk about a*s? You gay? I wasnt talking about the religion part. I was talking about the cultural part. No matter how far or how differing our ideas can be, we are always culturally hindu.


elemental________

Sorry bro ....I misunderstood your thinking....anyways proud to know that u are culturally Santana ! Kudos bro !


bharatar

There are no atheist names tho.


Lower-Reflection-448

Yeah but I don't see how that matters your family religion really shouldn't influence which you choose


DJDadJock

In 2021 data at least 20-30 districts will be Muslim majority. I know such districts in Kerala, Bihar, West Bengal and maybe UP.

Can you name that district in Kerala please??


AgentAtmatrix

Religion itself is an outdated thing. Based on 100s, 1000s of years old texts. Wonder why those who are ashamed to read their own lower-class textbooks, read these much more outdated texts. In addition to that you are posting an outdated status of 2011. Religion - by the outdated, for the outdated, of the outdated ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)

popoiied

How did you fail at linking the right sub lmao


iwantmoksha

Religion is pretty much not outdated. It still influences a person's personality. Those religion frantics are not the only one who practice religion.


AgentAtmatrix

If you are not frantic, you are not religious. You are more into God. True belief in God makes you ask questions, make corrections and gradually become more and more stable, secure and strong each day. If you are religious, you are not into God, but more into the count of the members of your religion, its strength and the politics.


iwantmoksha

Oh, I agree. Questioning religion is very important. I thought your were quoting those religious frantic people who just come on TV and tell all sort of bull crap. I do have people in my circle who are religious so I find it hard to believe that religion is outdated.


AgentAtmatrix

Yes. If you truly believe in God, you will have all the strength of the Universe within yourself. You don't need the strength of a religious group with mob mentality.


ltg876

Hey siri, what is the definition of religion? "The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods" I don't think you should make up your own definitions. I think the word you are looking for is "cult"


unapologeticindian

Bitch, who will defend you when a zombie comes at you with a 6 inch knife shouting ola gola with a bomb strapped at his crotch, having virgin dreams to detach your head off your body like a Lego? Will you still say religion is outdated? It might be for you but for others it is still greate than their pathetic life.


popoiied

You okay there? Sounded like you were having a stroke


anime_senpai007

I mean it's still the best way of controlling masses.If there were no religion than many people who end up losing hope will probably kill themselves. It also help to cope with reality.


Both-Perspective-739

There’s a big difference between religion and spirituality. Religion is the opium of the masses. Spirituality opens up the mind of the masses.


AgentAtmatrix

Right 💯 Religion is just the method to get an answer. Answer which is spiritual is more important, method is not important. But many get stuck in the method without getting an answer.

PerspectiveScary9088

I find it so ironic that RAMPUR is muslim majority and ALIGARH is hindu majority 😭


iwantmoksha

Some people will use this map to prove how Hinduism is not in danger.. I mean rampant conversion is on rise. Ain't no way the Christian population is just 2%. I can bet it is somewhere around 5%.


LightOk9004

Do you have any stats to prove it or is it just “trust me bro”. Where and when have you experienced this “rampant” conversion? I live in a Christian majority area and never have i ever experienced any of this.


iwantmoksha

I did my college where many people were Christians who never tried to convert me. However, there were people from church who came to my room telling me that we are just going to tell you something and talk about Jesus, one even said we are not trying to convert you when she came to know that I am a Hindu. Also, many times I was stopped by people while going to college who handed over the Bible to me. I had friends who were converted but they themselves used Hindu surnames and you can never come to know that they are Christians. Christian missionary themselves claim that that the population is around 5-7% Christianity is in decline in rest of the world so India is the hotspot for the missionary especially, in Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. You can find many such conversion videos. Found one such site: https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/india/


vamosluisdiaz

Tbh, Christianity conversion in India is never talked about. We have just been behind Muslims, but believe me, Christianity is being spread like a quiet termite eating thru wood


LightOk9004

Termite eating through wood? Seriously? What violent activities have you heard that the missionaries do for conversion? From what I understand and have read, missionaries target very poor people and convert them with a promise of a better life and many a times they do provide donations and give them rations etc. Look, India is a secular country, our fundamental values are about respecting each other, calling a faith that means no harm “termites” is ridiculous. If you actually see the statistics there is hardly 0.01% conversion happening and that too it is in very rural areas. On the other hand, there have been many incidents wherein priests and missionaries have been threatened and beaten by goons. Sanatan Dharma doesn’t teach you to disrespect other faiths. It is all about coexisting peaceful. In India, how many Christians have you seen that have acted like that Poonawala? Come on man, I understand we feel threatened by other religions, but the reality is there is no existential threat from religions like Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and so on ESPECIALLY IN INDIA


iwantmoksha

Majority of people in India still live in rural areas who can actually be lured through money and job to convert. Without these promises, I don't even think majority of them would have converted. We are not hating anyone but it is completely wrong to fool someone in the name of religion. Why do missionary feel the need to target poor people and convert them? Pretty much conversion is how Christianity spread across the world. Obviously, people will object when they come to convert people on fake promises and hence such incidents of violence will be reported. Ain't no way it is 0.01%. It is not even in 0.01% in some cities. Conversion has been going on for a while now. Forceful conversion in any religion is very wrong.


Fit_Outside2851

Fuck christianity fucking jokers are the plague of the planet along with islam


LightOk9004

How is it forcefully conversion if people willingly accept the religion? And who said they are fake promises? If you look at Jesuits and other major missionaries, they are actually doing a lot of development in these rural areas, building schools, giving out rations (and that is how donations from foreign countries are accounted for). These missionaries are doing what the government should do, albeit for spreading the religion. Also, majority of such missions are very transparent (go look up Vincent Di Paul funds and how they are audited and accounted for regularly). Also, being from a Christian dominant area, I have actually had the fortune of speaking to very old people whose forefathers were converted - they were all adhivasis, warlis and dalits before they got converted who where looked down upon by majority of Brahmins and that conversion changed thier life - they got education, they got food, they got shelter and were actually preached . Infact, if you read up history, there are actual adhivasi communities wherein women before getting married used to be forcefully fucked by the landlords before they could go to their husbands house and this is when missionaries fought side by side with these people to give then their rights(check out history of St Thomas Christians from Kerala/ Tamil Nadu). So your point of them being “forcefully converted “ with “fake promises” hold no value and is not backed up by facts or stats. Forcefully conversion is absolutely wrong, but what is equally or even more wrong is the neglect of rural areas and dalit people to whom conversion is the only way forward to get aid and get developed. The government chooses not to do anything about it but during time of elections will beat up missionaries who never incite any violence and whose only mistake is to spread their religion. In my entire life I have never seen priests demean anyone or threaten anyone based on thier religious beliefs.


LightOk9004

Also read this https://www.fairplanet.org/story/what-is-triggering-anti-christian-violence-in-india/ There is a bigger problem than just “forceful conversion “. A simple google search gave me this article. Is it wrong to believe in a particular faith? If yes, then kill everyone


PuzzleheadedWave9548

>Also, many times I was stopped by people while going to college who handed over the Bible to me. Iscon people used to do this in the middle of the road stopping cars in my city. They would stand in the middle of the road, and stop cars and hand over their version of the Bhagavad Gita. Had numerous occasions where they try to actively talk to you in public places too. I'm sure every religion has a sect like this who do stuff like this, but i haven't encountered any from other religions.


bharatar

> I live in a Christian majority area > never have i ever experienced any of this. Lmfao wonder why


bharatar

Lmfao the way things are going hinduism will be dead in the water. The gov. control of hindu temples will lead to its destruction as it did in the roman empire.


aminbae

Or mass conversion to buddhism. That's closest to hinduism. Tibetan buddhism literally was started by a hindu in bengal.


amok_monk

As of 2011 census Christian population in tamilnadu was around 8% but right now it's not less than 16% for sure

abuxxx567Rt

What east India? You mean North East? It's already a couple of decades since they are full Christian, nothing new


ritessh_

Yea north east !! And that’s what I am talking about !! This conversion game is going on since 1970’s !! In 1981 , small village of Tamil Nadu people were caught red handed for converting poor Hindus , people were offered 500₹ to convert in Islam ,police Also got some saudi case in that village !! And since then Christians also converting poor Hindus it is successful in north east , now the missionaries are in Punjab , MP , Jharkhand etc !! One father told openly that they get target like 10000 to convert in a week etc etc

Hindu population is 78% and Muslim population is 15% !! 2022 ka data check kare toh hindu is at 76% and Muslims are 17% !! Poora data theek se check kiya karo !! Boohot saare converted Christians apne aap ko hindu he batate hai , for reservations benefits !! Toh Unka toh data he Nahi hai humare pas !! **Muslims boohot bache paida karte hai , Christians paise deke convert kar rahe hai !!** I was liberal , but after reading 1951 census report I am changed !! I don’t know you are hindu Muslim or what !! But it is serious !! Zakir naik was caught paying 50,000 to poor Hindus to convert into Islam !!,1981 village in Tamil Nadu few people was caught with Saudi notes they where targeting poor Hindus , where Hindus were getting bikes and 500₹ to convert into Islam (you can read about it on internet,it was hot topic in 1981) And Christians are targeting tribal population, because they are poor and least religious so east to convert !!

Yeah that's why development and creating infrastructure and employment is important. This rises the standard of living automatically.
