A religion?

[edit]

https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%BEThe Meena mainly worshiped the Pisces God and (Shiva). https://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A8_%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8_%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B0,_%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8 seems to say: People of Meena tribe are followers of Hindu religion However, I have entered ethnoreligionists Mina into Google, which resulted in 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia showing 1,086, 000 adherents, 98 % of them being animists.Sarcelles (talk) 12:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Counting more than a million adherents verifies notability. Sarcelles (talk) 08:40, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which are the features to be considered a religion as opposed to just a part of Hinduism? Sarcelles (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia has the following information: p. 67 says, the Southern Meena have goddesses such as Asapari and other deities. Bavaji worship is a distinctive part of the religion. p. 68 says, Bavaji are male ancestors and female ancestors are evil. Ancestors play a major role in all aspects of life.
p. 76 says there is no concept of sin, crime or soul in their tradition. Sarcelles (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
