India Survey Dataset

Pew Research Center conducted face-to-face surveys among 29,999 adults (ages 18 and older) across 26 Indian states and three union territories in 17 languages.
The sample includes interviews with 22,975 Hindus, 3,336 Muslims, 1,782 Sikhs, 1,011 Christians, 719 Buddhists and 109 Jains.
An additional 67 respondents belong to other religions or are religiously unaffiliated.
Six groups were targeted for oversampling as part of the survey design: Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and those living in the Northeast region.
Interviews were conducted under the direction of RTI International from November 17, 2019, to March 23, 2020.
Data collection used computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) after random selection of households.

This project was produced by Pew Research Center as part of the Pew-Templeton Global Religious Futures project, which analyzes religious change and its impact on societies around the world.
Funding for the Global Religious Futures project comes from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John Templeton Foundation.
