The lead currently reads, regarding Zoroastrianism and the Bahá'í Faith:

these religions are otherwise largely exclusive to their native Persia where they originated from.

I'm not sure that this phrase is really justified, particularly the word "exclusive". I can sort of see why this could be said of Zoroastrianism due to historical and demographic factors, but it doesn't seem at all justified for the Bahá'í Faith. All the same, both List of countries by Zoroastrian population and Baháʼí Faith by country show a fairly even spread across the globe outside of India.

You can't without an autoconfirmed account; however, if you give "a complete and specific description" of what changes you want (including which pie chart, there are two in the article). Someone will do it, if it is an improvement. --Erp (talk) 04:47, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that India has the second highest number of Buddhist adherents after China, yet the proportion of Buddhists is stated as 0.7% of the population of India. This would equate to a number of around 10 to 11 million adnerents of Buddhism in India based on its current population. This would put India behind countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Japan and Vietnam (which have a majority of citizens expressing a belief in Buddhism), in terms of number of Buddhists. The article either needs a concrete justification of the claim that India has the second highest number of Buddhist adherents in the world after China, or an ammmendment to reflect the true situation. Either the claim in the article or the statistics cited must be wrong. 90.252.109.73 (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
