The Most Football Crazy States In India
Watching the Group F World Cup soccer match of South Korea Vs. Germany in Nagaland's Kohima. IMAGE
The most football crazy states in India are all in the northeast namely Nagaland, Meghalaya & Mizoram, which are all small Christian majority states in India, along with Manipur, which is a small Hindu majority state whose Hindu population converted from traditional religion called Sanamahi to Hinduism in the early 18th century.
Elsewhere in India, Cricket – not football – is a religion.
