Hinduism in Madagascar
Template:Short description Template:Hinduism by country The history of Hinduism in Madagascar began with the arrival of primarily Gujarati from the Saurashtra region of India as far back as 1870. These were predominantly Muslim (Khojas, Ismailis and Daoudi Bohras), but a small number were Hindus.[1]
Current status
In 2023, only 0.06% of the population were Hindu.[2]
In 2006, many of these are business owners, or IT professionals who have lived in the country for generations. The majority spoke Hindi or Gujarati, although some other Indian languages were spoken. Younger generations spoke at least three languages, including French or English, Gujarati and Malagasy.[3]
