The vast majority of Indians are Hindu or related religions- Sikh, Jain, Hare Krishna. Some of them are just as intolerant and extremist as the intolerant people anywhere else. Witness the Hindu on Muslim violence in Gujarat a few years ago that killed 1,000+ people.
I don't think tolerance is a matter of religion or immigrant status, it's a matter of education and understanding. In the West we have increasingly come to a "live and let live" understanding in mainstream society, but there is still a vocal (and sometimes violent) minority that refuses to abide by that standard. I think it is the same all over the world. In some places it is better (Sweden comes to mind for some reason), and in some places it is worse- Saudi Arabia anyone?
