The questionnaire was developed in English and translated into 16 languages, independently verified by professional linguists with native proficiency in regional dialects. To improve respondent comprehension of survey questions and to ensure all questions were culturally appropriate, Pew Research Center followed a multi-phase questionnaire development process that included expert review, focus groups, cognitive interviews, a pretest and a regional pilot survey before the national survey. Interviews for this nationally representative survey were conducted face-to-face under the direction of RTI International from Nov. For this report, we surveyed 29,999 Indian adults (including 22,975 who identify as Hindu, 3,336 who identify as Muslim, 1,782 who identify as Sikh, 1,011 who identify as Christian, 719 who identify as Buddhist, 109 who identify as Jain and 67 who identify as belonging to another religion or as religiously unaffiliated). This study is Pew Research Center’s most comprehensive, in-depth exploration of India to date.
