If the “supremacist” story is true, it’s really bad; I myself was shocked after 9/11 at how many Americans actually thought Indians were Muslim - and a lot of those people apparently sat through at least four years of college. You would think something would have sunk in via osmosis if nothing else.

Fox News: Sikh Temple President’s brother says he has passed away. Tells media they are partially responsible for hate.

You better go back, or maybe going was the problem.

From the CIA Word FactBook for India:

Hindu 80.5%, Muslim 13.4%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.1% (2001 census)

So, 7 times as many Muslims in India as Sikhs.

Over 161 million Muslims in India, very comparable to Pakistan's 181 Million. (95%)
