    		I am not sure if this percentage is 100% correct.
    For example, Jainism is also a religion with followers among the Tamil people.

    		Okay, maybe I was nit-picking. I think your percentage is mainly correct.
    This German site claims that 0,1% of the Tamils are Jains, and that there are even smaller groups of Sikhs and Buddhists.
