India does not have an official state religion.

The Communist Party's official account of the Great Famine shows that the government policies were at fault. The Three Red Banners- General Line for Socialist construction, the Great Lea Forward, and the people's communes- laid out how Mao's socialist policies would transform China. But they are the defacto culprits of the Great Famine.
