Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) - Hindu population - Muslim population - Religious composition

Shocking insights reveal the decline in Hindu population and rise in Muslim population in India! ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ•Œ

Recent research from the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) has unveiled a significant shift in India's religious demographics over the past few decades. The Hindu population share experienced a substantial decline of 7.82% between 1950 and 2015, while the Muslim population witnessed a remarkable increase. This analysis, based on the Religious Characteristics of States Dataset 2017, highlighted the changing religious composition in India.

The EAC-PM study, encompassing 167 countries, emphasized the declining trend in the Hindu population and the surge in the Muslim population within the Indian subcontinent. The study's findings have sparked discussions about the underlying factors contributing to these demographic changes and their potential implications on India's social fabric and cultural dynamics.

Furthermore, the research indicated a parallel rise in the share of Christian population, underlining the complex interplay of religious demographics in India. These findings shed light on the evolving religious landscape of the country and underscore the need for continued monitoring and analysis of demographic trends.

In conclusion, the report's revelations about the decline in Hindu population by 7.82% and the significant growth in the Muslim population by 43% have raised pivotal questions about the future trajectory of religious diversity in India. As these demographic shifts shape the country's social dynamics, ongoing research and dialogue are essential to navigate the changing religious landscape effectively.
