This residual category covers Indian populations not enumerated in the other composition rows — approximately 2.9% of the population. Includes Sindhi (Indian Sindhis are descendants of the post-1947 Partition refugees from Sindh in Pakistan), Konkani, Manipuri, Bodo, Dogri, Sanskrit (recognized as a Scheduled Language though primarily liturgical/scholarly), plus the historically distinctive smaller communities: Anglo-Indian (descendants of British and other European-Indian admixed populations from the colonial period), Parsi (Zoroastrian, ~57,000+ in India predominantly in Mumbai, descendants of 8th-c. Persian Zoroastrian refugees who fled the Arab Muslim conquest of Iran), Indian Jewish (the historically small communities of Bene Israel of Maharashtra, Cochin Jews of Kerala, Baghdadi Jews of Mumbai-Calcutta — most have emigrated to Israel since 1948 with current Indian-Jewish populations of approximately 5,000+), and other smaller groups.
