Title: Hinduism in Sri Lanka
Passage: Hinduism has a long tradition in Sri Lanka.  Hindus currently make up 12.60% of the Sri Lankan population, and are almost exclusively Tamils apart from small immigrant communities from India and Pakistan such as the Sindhis, Telugus, Kannadigas and Malayalees.  In the 1915 census they made up almost 25% of the population, which included the indentured labourers the British had brought.  Due to assimilation and emigration (over 1 million Sri Lankan Tamils have left the country since independence), today they are a smaller and still dwindling minority.  Hinduism is dominant in the Northeastern province, where there is a significant number of Tamil people.  Hinduism is also practised in the central regions (where there are significant numbers of people of Indian Tamil descent) as well as in the capital, Colombo.  According to the government census of 2012, there are 2,554,606 Hindus in Sri Lanka.  During the Sri Lankan Civil War, many Tamils fled to other countries.  There are Hindu temples abroad which were built by the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora to maintain their religion and culture.
Title: Religion in pre-colonial Philippines
Passage: The nature of religion in the pre-colonial Philippines is often unclear.  Religions present include animism, Philippine mythologies such as Anito, and influences from Hinduism and Buddhism.  The earliest pieces of evidence that exist are archaeological finds including Hindu- Buddhist gold statues.  The earliest written evidence comes from the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, dated to around 900 CE, which uses the Buddhist-Hindu lunar calendar.  With the arrival of Islam in the 14th century, the older religions gradually disappeared, and after the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 Christianity (specifically Roman Catholicism became the dominant religion.  However, some of the Indigenous peoples of the Philippines continue to practice animism today, and many of the traditions in Anito have survived in the form of Folk Catholicism.
