| Video Discription | Panel discussion held on 01 July 2021. King’s India Institute is hosting a discussion of a major new survey of religion across India conducted by Pew Research Center. The survey, to be released by Pew Research Center on June 29 was based on nearly 30,000 face-to-face interviews of adults conducted in 17 languages between late 2019 and early 2020 (before the COVID-19 pandemic), exploring the role of religion in Indian public life. The study is part of a larger effort by Pew Research Center to understand religious change and its impact on societies around the world. The nationally representative study, Pew Research Center’s biggest single-country survey outside of the United States to date, provides insights into the experiences and attitudes not only of Hindus and Muslims, but also of Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs and Jains living in India. The new report, based on the survey’s findings, examines religious identity, beliefs and practices; views on Indian national identity; caste; experiences with discrimination; religious conversion; and the connection between economic development and religious observance. Some of the key questions the survey set out to explore include: How do Indians feel about living in such a religiously diverse society? What are the dynamics among India’s various religious groups in both public and private life? And in a democracy with a large Hindu majority, how do Indians view the relationship between Hindu identity and Indian identity? The event will begin with a short overview of the survey findings followed by a panel discussion.
