Hinduism in Samoa began in the late 20th century , though natural disasters have made some of the fewer than 100 Hindus emigrate . Hinduism was not in the 2001 Census , possibly because it did not have any adherents at the time , unlike Muslims ( 48 ) . Hinduism was added in the 2006 Census , which stated that there were 25 Hindus , 12 being male and 13 female . Due to smaller numbers , the Muslim and Hindu population count was merged in the 2011 Census , with the total now being 38 adherents . The 2011 Census stated that of the 38 Muslims/Hindus , 25 were male and 13 female . This gender imbalance , which has inflated the proportion of male to females , may have been a consequence of the 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami , when more than 150 people died and many emigrated
