Hinduism in the Netherlands
Hinduism is a minority religion in the Netherlands, with around 100,000 adherents out of a population of 16,500,000. Most of these are relatively recent first or second generation "Indo-Surinamese" immigrants, South Asians who had been resident in the former Dutch colony of Suriname and travelled to the Netherlands in the 1970s and 1980s. There are also sizable populations of Hindu immigrants from India and Sri Lanka, as well as a smaller number of Western adherents of Hinduism-oriented new religious movements.
==History==
The presence of a significant number of Hindus in the Netherlands is a relatively modern development; in 1960, it is estimated there were only ten Indian families in the country,〔Report of the High Level Committee on the Indian Diaspora, p. 141〕 who between them presumably comprised the bulk of the Hindu population. In 1971, the ''Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek'' (CBS) recorded around 3,000 adherents.〔CBS StatLine〕 In the 1970s, however, the number sharply increased. This was due to the immigration of the "Indo-Surinamese" ("Hindustanis"), people of Indian origin whose families had emigrated to Surinam as bonded workers in the late nineteenth century. With Surinamese independence in 1975, growing concern about their future in the new country caused about a third of the Hindustani population to leave Surinam and emigrate to the Netherlands.〔 The Indo-Surinamese were predominantly Hindu, and as a result the Hindu population increased tenfold over the decade to 34,000 in 1980, continuing to climb to 61,000 in 1990 and 91,000 in 2000.〔
