Global Hindu migrants: The current population of the world is crossing 800 crores. In this, the number of people who believe in Christian and Islam religion is crossing 200 crores. In this episode, Hindu is the third largest population in the world, which is close to 150 crores. Many of these Hindus live only in India alone, in other countries in which Nepal and Bhutan are at the forefront. However, there are many Hindus who are inhabited in other countries. On this basis, the Pew Research Center has prepared a report, which gives information about the Hindu migrants around the world. According to data, by the year 2020, 13 million Hindus are residing outside their birth country, which is about 5 percent of all international migrants. However, this number of Hindus in the global population is much lower than 15 per cent. This means that the representation of Hindu migrants is low internationally.

Hindu migrants covers a distance of 3,100 miles from their native country on average, which is more than 2,200 miles of total migrants. Most Hindu migrants live in the Asia-Pacific region, while other major destinations include the Middle East-East-Uttari Africa (24%) and North America (22%).
