Hinduism is a minority religion in the Netherlands, with one to two hundred thousand adherents out of a population of 16,500,000. Most of these are relatively recent first or second generation "Hindoestanen" immigrants, South Asians who had been resident in the former Dutch colony of Surinam and travelled to the Netherlands in the 1970s and 1980s. There are also sizable populations of Hindu immigrants from India and Sri Lanka, as well as a number of Western adherents of more modern movements linked to Hinduism.
