Hindu communities are found in several countries of South America, but they are strongest in Guyana and Suriname. There are about 400,000 Hindus in South America, chiefly the descendants of Indian indentured labourers in the Guianas. There are about 270,000 Hindus in Guyana, 120,000 in Suriname, and some others in French Guiana. In Guyana, Hindus form 35% of the population. ==Hinduism in Argentina== Argentina has 1,200 persons of Indian origin (PIOs) and 400 non-resident Indians (NRIs). Some of them are actively involved in propagating ayurveda, yoga, Indian classical music and the Hindi language. They have established an Indian Association () in the northern provinces and organise social and cultural events to celebrate Indian festivals. Unfortunately, there is little interaction between them and those who have settled down in other parts of the extensive country. A large number of the Indian diaspora living in Buenos Aires are businessmen, doctors, financial or business executives, and employees of multinational corporations. Most of them have retained their Indian citizenship () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hinduism in South America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
