Isn’t “Hindu Indian” redundant?

[chajin]

Some are Muslim, some are Sikh, a few (too few) are Christian.

"Isn’t “Hindu Indian” redundant?"

No, because Hindu is a religion, not a race.

[entropy12]

India has over 150 million Muslim citizens.
And many millions of Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jain’s, Parsi’s, Bahai’s, etc.

“Isn’t “Hindu Indian” redundant?”

Not really. I had classmates in high school who were Sikh, Punjabi and Hindu. They’re all different believe it or not. One of friends in my circle was third gen Sikh but he refused to wear the turban as he tells me he ‘couldnt get chicks’ wearing it..

No not really, there are:

1. Christian Indians,
2. Sikhs they are not Hindu they are Sikhs - a monotheistic religion
3. Muslim Indians - a lot of Muslims in India
4. Paris’s - Zoroastrians, descended from Persians who fled the Islamic conquest of Persia, a very old monotheistic religion. The Magi were believed to be Zoroastrian priests (Well that’s one legend!)
5. Jain Dharma - a very ancient India religion, similar to Buddhism but it is not Buddhism!
