I think you have your facts grossly wrong on this. Though I don't believe that people share a common interest just because of a shared religion, or that religious identities are the only identities we have. Likewise, numbers alone are not necessarily the only indicator of influence ... (e.g. number of Indian-Americans in the US -- 1% of the total population; Parsis in India about a hundred thousand or so, or Saraswat Brahmins in Goa). FN
