I think a lot of them are leaving India and going to the West.
I went to school with one Indian from Goa, and worked with another. My waiter in Palo Alto a week ago was also from Goa.
Sure, that's only three, but they are a tiny minority in India (0.0003 as a fraction of the Indian population), so to meet three in the US seems unlikely unless many of them are coming here.

I think all these catholics should be kicked out of Goa for what they did to hindus there. This dumb election2020 is supporting the oppressor and still talks that sikhs support the oppressed. People were converted just 4 centuries back so it is reverting back I think. Just like Hawaiians fight to save their culture.

Well, the Portuguese (Catholics) broke up the Muslim monopoly on Indian Ocean trade, including Goa as a major port city on the coast. During most of Portuguese rule of Goa, Hindus kept flocking to Goa due to relatively better governance and higher living standards; aka voting by the feet.
Did Portuguese practice some degree of racial preference during their rule? Perhaps they did, but the opportunities they gave the Hindus were more than the opportunities that Hindus had under Hindu ruled neighboring areas. Furthermore, Portuguese did not advocate "kick out all Hindus" like you are advocating what should be done to Catholics. The ironies is that while today's West is obsessed with ancient-past white racism, much of the other populations on the planet are actually far more racist! Furtherm...
Not all muslims are cut from same cloth(Example Sufis,kurdish,Yezidi etc.)

"personal freedom" should always be respected.
election2020 says"personal freedom" should always be respected.
This is why I have some admiration for Sikhism. You can join, you can leave, you can even insult their religion, and they will not try to kill you for it.
I visited the Fremont Gurdwara http://fremontgurdwara.org/ with a Sikh friend and met a white guy who had converted. He was happy with his choice and explained it to me, but did not try to pressure me at all to convert.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Well, that would be a flaw with Sikhism in my opinion then.
One reason Christianity spread well was that Christians took being insulted and mocked as something Jesus wanted them to do to show their faith.Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.

I'm not particularly Christian myself, but I admire that aspect of Christianity.
But Christians started out very small, just a few people. They were a marginalized minority.
I think Christianity spread because it is hard to argue with people who refuse to become offended when you insult them. They win the moral high ground right there.
True, Christians feel they are obligated to at least try to convert everyone.
They also "had to" defend themselves, but did not! (At least not at first.) Their willingness to let themselves be murdered rather than give up their beliefs was kind of the "secret sauce" that led to mass conversions. They demonstrated absolute belief, even to death.
So when the Romans were murdering Christians for sport in the Colosseum, they didn't realize that these big public shows of Christians going to their deaths was actually spreading the religion.
Not that I recommend going that far. If Sikhs are physically attacked, they should defend themselves. But Sikhs would look better if they showed themselves above responding to mere insults with violence.
I know Israelis like India because they don't feel anyone hates them there. So lots of Israelis go on vacation in India.

Siks were saved by Hindus twice from extinction.
1) 1600s , almost all sikhs are converts from Hindus. 4 Hindus fought along with 1 sikh against Muslim rulers to protect them.
2) 1945-47 most Sikhs were killed in Pakistan, but remaining were saved by India.

There are tons of Christians, most English schools are run by Christians. Steady growth all over. Yes there are instances of fight if forceful conversation and sometimes Muslims kill Christians there.
Overall most tolerant country religion wise, even to Muslims who have done many mass killings.
Election2020 you behave very suspiciously man.

All and all, the average Roman didn't care about Christianity back in the days. It's not like Nero (& other leaders like him which followed), had masses of clerics converting ppl to Islam and slaughtering Yazidis, Buddhists, etc, in the name of Allah & his final prophet.
I'm sure if the head(s) of every Praetorian Guard saw Christianity as a true threat to the Empire, it would have been eradicated during Paul's time, as the Praetorian Guard was the supreme military cohort within the Italian peninsula.
This is the difference; the older Roman religions lost popularity to the newer one.
And finally, while I'm not completely in accordance with election2020, he's go...
Hindooo needs containment and forced population control.

Hindooo immigration need to be reduced in west unless we want marginalization of other religions.
