[edit] vedic roots and connections
maybe someone should mention that...--Dangerous-Boy 11:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Do you know of any reputable source materials that I can use? Siyavash 19:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

This is absolute rubbish. My cousin worked in Tehran and Yazd for more than a decade, returning to India 2 years ago. He told me that he never met any Hindu in Iran who had Iranian citizenship. The number is probably 1000 or less than that... all of them South Asian temporary immigrants working in South West Iran.
- It may very well be "absolute rubbish", but it's the US State Department's mistake if your cousin's impromptu religious census collection is indeed true. Anyone who converts will be afraid to admit it in public, but even I admit that the percentage sounds a bit exaggerated, and it may be the result of a disinterested fact checker at the US State Department who decided to label every minority religion .1%, or one of us Wikipedians watching Hinduism by country while playing The telephone game minus the prudent exercise of Due diligence. Thank you for your concern. Siyavash 20:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
