From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hindu community in France is not prominent, consisting of some long-time residents and many recent immigrants. Neither does Hinduism constitute a large proportion of the population; the current Hindu population of France is 121,312, 0.2% of the nation's population. However, in 1993 the population was estimated to be around 50,000[1], showing that the French Hindu population is growing steadily. One notable French Hindu is Vikash Dhorasoo, who was a member of the French Football World Cup squad in 2006. He is an ethnic Mauritian East Indian from the town of Le Havre.
