That is correct! India has by far the largest Hindu population in the world. Bangladesh has the second-largest population in terms of absolute numbers, followed by countries like Nepal (which has a very high percentage of Hindus relative to its population, even if the total head count is smaller than India's or Bangladesh's), Indonesia (particularly on the island of Bali), and the United States.

The Partition of India in 1947 drastically reshaped the demographics of the region, causing massive population migrations between India and what was then West and East Pakistan (now Pakistan and Bangladesh).
