Muslim population in india: American research firm Pew Research published a report in 2015, which estimated that by 2050 it would be the world’s largest Muslim population in India. According to the report, by 2050, the total population of India will be around 166 crores. Hindu population can reach 1.3 billion and Muslim population 31 crore. By this time, 11 percent of the world’s total Muslim population is in India alone. However, Indonesia currently has the largest Muslim population in the world. But according to Pew Research, by 2050, India can become the largest Muslim-bound country in the world, which is estimated to be 7 times more than today.
Between 2001 and 2011, the population in India has increased very fast. During this period, the total population of India has increased by 17.7%. The fastest Muslim population has increased by 25 percent in this. This figure was the highest among all communities. The pace of increasing Hindu population recorded less than 17 percent. From 1951 to 2011, the Muslim population increased by 386 percent, which increased from 3.54 crores to 17.22 crore. The Hindu population increased by 218 percent. The number increased from 30.35 crores to 96.62 crore in 2011, while the Sikh population increased 235 and Christian population 232 percent.
Is the population of Muslims growing rapidly with Hindus?
According to the growth rate, the population of Muslims has increased rapidly, but it is also worth noting that the fertility rate (birth rate) has declined. In 1992-93, the fertility rate of Hindu women was 3.3, while Muslim women had 4.4 percent. In 2022, the fertility rate in Hindu women was 1.9, while Muslim women were 2.3. However, in the last 30 years, the rate of giving birth to a child in Muslim women has reduced by 47 percent and 42 percent of Hindu women. Despite this, the birth rate of Muslims is still higher than Hindus.
Let us know that at present, the total population of the world is 800 crores. In this, 200 crore people are going to believe in the religion of Islam. The main reason for this is that 57 countries in the whole world are Muslim, where people who believe in Islamic religion live.
