The new analysis report shared by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (PM-EAC) shows that in the history of 65-year tenure, the Hindu population significantly declined. While Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians rose greatly.
The report ‘Share of Religious Minorities: A cross country analysis’ studied data on religious populations for 167 countries.
As per the report Hindu population declined by 7.82%, while the Muslim population showed the most positive impact with an increase of 14.09%. In comparison with other communities in India as Christian population rose by 2.36% and the Sikh population rose to 1.85%. While alongside the Hindu population, the Jain and Parsi communities have also seen a decline.
Despite PM Modi-led chaos for the Muslim minority in India, Muslims seem to be a growing population as per the report. PM Modi has been seen mocking Muslims to get votes from their Hindu counterparts.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also pushed for not giving Muslims any quote in any of the party seats. Such discrimination has drawn a great number of criticism from voices around the world but PM Narendra Modi seems to be appointing the same strategy to get votes.
Congress however have targeted BJP to stop them from creating chaos in the daily lives of the Muslims residing in India. However, the BJP created roadblocks for the politicians campaigning for Congress to snatch the victory from them.
Not just India, Europe has also seen a great increase in the Muslim populations in its major cities, predicting Muslims will be the nominating majority in the region.
However, in India, Muslims have ruled India for hundreds of years, and have done great for the Indian region, the population growth is a great sign for the Muslim population living in India.

The growth rates of religious groups in India, specifically Muslims and Hindus, have been extensively studied. According to the Pew Research Center’s comprehensive study, the Hindu population grew from 304 million to 966 million between 1951 and 2011, while the Muslim population reportedly increased from 35 million to 172 million. The study reveals that all major religious groups in India have seen an increase in their numbers, with Muslims still having the highest fertility rate, followed by Hindus. The BBC also reported on the Pew study, noting that there have been only “modest changes” in the religious makeup of the population since 1951, despite significant declines in fertility rates among all religious groups. This indicates that the growth rates have been converging over time. It is essential to consider these independent studies for a nuanced understanding of the growth rates as they provide a broader perspective beyond any single survey or report. These studies consider various factors, such as fertility rates, mortality rates, and migration, contributing to the changing demographics of religious groups in India. As for the Prime Minister’s committee report, it is nothing more than a tool for propaganda against Muslims to frighten Hindus during polling campaigns that, in the long run, Muslims will outnumber them. People are aware of the BJP’s ideology, and such fears do not have any permanent impact on Indian politics, except for a handful of paid workers and media houses who are continuously trying to tarnish the image of Indian Muslims to malign them in their fellow citizens.
