A drastic drop in the birth rate of Muslims in the country, yet more than that of Hindus

New York, Ta. 3

The growth rate of Hindu and Muslim population in India has not been much different since 191. However, the last few decades have seen a decline in birth rates in all the major religions of the country. There has been a significant decline in the population growth rate of Muslims in particular. However, the population growth rate of Muslims is higher than that of Hindus.

According to a report by the Pew Research Center, a non-profit organization in the United States, India has seen a decline in the birth rates of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains. According to the report, the population growth rate of Muslims in India has come down significantly from 2012-13. In the 19th century, the growth rate of the Muslim population was 7.8 per cent, which has come to a standstill in 2017 at 4.5 per cent. On the other hand, the population growth rate of Hindus has come down from 7.5 per cent to 6.1 per cent. At the same time, the gap in population growth between Muslims and Hindus has narrowed. Now the population growth rate of Hindus is only 0.6 per cent lower than that of Muslims, which at one point was 1.1 per cent. In this regard, the population growth rate of Muslims is still higher than that of other religions, but their growth rate has declined sharply.

It is clear from the report that the gap in population growth between different religions in India is rapidly narrowing. India's average birth rate is currently 7.5, which is much lower than 121. But it is still more than the current world. According to the Fifth National Family Health Survey conducted in 2015-16, the population growth rate of Muslims in Assam is 7.5, while that of Hindus is 1.2 and that of Christians is 1.2.

The population growth rate of Muslims in India is said to be higher. It is also said that if the Muslim population growth rate continues like this, the average Muslim population in India will increase in the near future. The Pew Research Center says such reports are unfounded. The report also makes it clear that India, like other religions, has seen a decline in the growth rate of the Muslim population.
