Best Answer

The most popular religion in India today is Hinduism. It has always been so since the ancient times.

New religions like Jainism and Buddhism cropped up in around 600 years before Christ. You'll be surprised to know that Christianity touched India's shores in just about 50 AD.

Islam is the next most popular religion, next to Hinduism, in India. It started to make its mark in India by about 1000AD. There are about 170 million Muslims in India, surprisingly India is the third most Muslim-population country behind Indonesia and Pakistan.

However, Hindus (believers and followers of Hinduism) form the majority in India, with a following total of about 960 million people.
