A million ways! The religion in India is quite fixed: Hinduism. Most people are expected to follow it and are socially looked down upon if they don’t. A lot of religious violence goes on between Jains, Sikhs, and Hindus. Religion is very important in India shown by weddings, cultural holidays, and dress wear. Customarily, religion is also the base for a lot of decisions in India.

Answer:

By several standard measures, Indians are highly religious. A majority of Indian adults pray daily (60%), more than two-thirds visit a house of worship at least monthly (71%), and an overwhelming share say religion is very important in their lives (84%). Previous Pew Research Center surveys show much less importance given to religion in several other regions of the world, including Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Israel, Latin America and the United States.
