Like more than a billion Indians (5)

I believe the answer is:

hindu

(Other definitions for hindu that I've seen before include "Adherent of Indian religion" , "Follower of India's most popular religion" , "Eastern believer" , "Adherent of an Asian religion" , "religious type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
