The proportion of Hindus in Myanmar has remained constant at around
0.5 per cent over the forty year period, according to Myanmar Census
2014 Report on Religion released this month.
In Myanmar’s
enumerated population, there were 252,763 (0.5%) Hindus. Largest number
of Hindus, 100,166 (2.0% of Region’s enumerated population), were in
Bago Region (southern-central part of the country); while smallest
number of Hindus, only 106, were in Chin State (least developed area of
the country) in western Myanmar.
Distinguished Hindu statesman
Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, urged Myanmar Hindus to
continue with the traditional values of hard work, higher morals, stress
on education, sanctity of marriage, etc.; and keep on contributing to
the progress of Myanmar. (Courtesy of oyetimes.com)
