Before I reply to your whole post, would like to ask you, what in your opinion is the best way to tackle Naxals and Maoists?

NEW DELHI: According to the latest census data on the population of religious groups, set to be released shortly, the growth rate of the Muslim population has slowed from 29% to 24% between 1991 and 2001. However, it is still higher than the national average of 18% for the decade.

The most rapid rise in the share of Muslims in the total population was witnessed in Assam.

This cannot be due to the higher birth rate alone but due to the cross border infiltration. 🤓

Some findings: -

*Nationally, percentage of Muslims in total population went up from 13.4% in 2001 to 14.2% in 2011.

*Assam recorded highest increase in share of Muslims, from 30.9% of the state's population to 34.2%.

* Manipur was the only state to show a fall in Muslim population.

*Other states that showed high increase in share of population are Uttarakhand (2 percentage points), Kerala (1.9), West Bengal (1.8), Goa (1.6) and J&K (1.3).

*Lowest rise in Meghalaya, Odisha and Arunachal (0.1 percentage points)

but it will sure put the aggressive religions or sects that require blind unscientific allegiance to them out of business.

the stats above seem to be internally inconsistent. Notice how most states increased by more than .8%, yet they report average increasing by only 0.8%. The one state that shows any decline is a state with like 1 person. Looks like some strange math they cooked up.😆

i think we should ban all fairy tale books after kindergarten. That one simple rule would make a lot of religions practically defunct, and put the entire problem of who's procreating like bunny rabbits and who's not, just go away.😆 It's what the Chinese do and they are better off for it. Adults being taught stuff like folks walking on water and parting seas, or having fairies whisper gospel truths in the ear, if these stories will not make someone go nuts, what will? In a way, Hinduism does not need those tales for survival since there is so much more to it than tall tales, but it will sure put the aggressive religions or sects that require blind unscientific allegiance to them out of business.

The detailed census report is expected in a weeks time. We could check then 😊

There's nothing to check. It's just Birdie being Birdie.

Your post listed 10 states. India has 29 states and 6 union territories, plus Delhi.

Total population of Assam, Uttarakhand , Kerala, West Bengal, Goa, J&K, Meghalaya, Odisha and Arunachal is less than 20% of the total population of India so an increase in percentage points in these states wouldn't make much difference at the national level. The real populous states are not mentioned in your report.

The Chinese did a lot that the Indians would never do. How do other secular countries do it?

Ideally religion and state matters should remain separate in a secular country.
