| The overseas Indian population, excluding the South Indian subcontinent, in 2001 was estimated at 17 million. Indian Americans
constituted the second largest group, outside Mynamar and are now believed to have overtaken that country as well. The top 10 countries accounted for almost three quarter of all overseas Indians and just 25 countries for almost 95% of all overseas Indians.
