There was a report on Indian Hindus and Muslims last year, in which 65 years of data was given. It was reported in the report that between 1950 and 2015, the share of Muslims increased by five % in the country’s population in 65 years, while the Hindus decreased by 7.82 %. Many big institutions have made claims about the Muslim population that by 2050 i.e. in the next 25 years, the most Muslim population worldwide will be in India. So will Muslims be more than Hindu population?
According to an article by Scroll.in, this is very difficult or almost impossible. In this, the data of census from 1961 to 2001 was taken and how much change in the population of both communities is being drawn every ten years.
According to the article, if the trend of these 40 years remains in future, then Muslims will be able to be equal to Hindus. It is very difficult that this trend remains the same for the coming years.
