About the Book
This book examines the demographic trends in contemporary India, focusing on the perceived and real differences between Hindu and Muslim populations and their social and political implications. It analyzes census data over successive decades, highlighting the patterns of population growth among different religious communities, and explores the influence of migration from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The author challenges common explanations attributing Muslim demographic expansion solely to poverty, citing evidence from Kerala where Muslims with higher education and living standards also exhibit higher birth rates. Drawing on historical and religious perspectives, the book critically engages with how religious teachings, cultural practices, and modernist interpretations shape demographic behavior.
Offering a provocative exploration of India’s evolving religious and social landscape, this volume encourages dialogue on integration, mutual understanding, and the potential for harmonious coexistence. It is an important resource for scholars, students, and readers interested in Indian history, demographics, religion, and societal change.
