There was a fierce debate across the country on the decline in the population of Hindus and the increase in the population of Muslims. In fact, it has been reported that during the last 65 years, the population of Hindus in the country has decreased by eight percent and the population of Muslims has increased by 44 percent. After this, BJP leaders called this imbalance of population the result of appeasement policies of Congress. BJP leaders alleged that Congress has been against Sanatan since independence. The result of this is that Hindus are decreasing in the country, Muslims are increasing and now Congress is talking about giving reservation to Muslims. But Congress termed this report as a conspiracy to divert public attention from the real issues during the elections. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi said that now more such issues will be raised because BJP has understood that the election is out of hand but Amit Shah said that in three phases BJP has reached the figure of two hundred and the remaining Four hundred will be crossed in four stages. Asaduddin Owaisi said something different. He said that the accusation of increasing the population on Muslims is completely wrong. He took the names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Amit Shah and late Guruji Golwalkar and counted the number of his brothers and sisters. Said, the issue of population is nothing but a part of BJP’s conspiracy to declare India a Hindu nation.
The report that is being discussed has been prepared by the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council. This report has been prepared by studying data of 65 years from 1950 to 2015. Apart from India, population changes in neighboring countries like Nepal, Myanmar, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been studied in this report. The biggest thing said in this report is that between 1950 and 2015, the population of Hindus in India has declined by about 8%, while the population of the Muslim community has increased by about 44%. In 1950, Hindus were about 85% of the total population of the country, but in 2015, Hindus remained only 78%. On the other hand, in 1950, the share of Muslims in the total population of the country was about 10%, which increased to 14% in 2015, that is, the share of Hindus in the population decreased but the population of Muslims increased. Another special thing in this report is that in the last 65 years in India, the population of most religions except Hindus has increased. In that too the population of Muslims has increased the most. 65 years ago there were about 2.25% Christians in the country, now in 2015 the Christian population has increased to more than two and a half percent. Similarly, the population of Sikh community increased from 1.25% to 1.85%. The number of people following Buddhism has also increased. In India, the population of only Jain and Parsi communities has decreased in the last 65 years.
It is worth noting that not only in India, the population of Hindus has also decreased in the neighboring countries of India, like in Nepal and Myanmar, there has been a huge decline in the number of Hindus in Bhutan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Economist Professor Shamika Ravi, who was involved in preparing this report, said that the majority population has increased in all the neighboring countries of India but the reverse has happened in India. Here the majority population has decreased and the minority population has increased. Professor Shamika Ravi said that there could be many reasons for this like conversion and infiltration. As soon as this report became public, politics started on it. Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that it is now clear that during the last sixty years of Congress rule, a conspiracy was being hatched to make India an Islamic state. Priyanka Gandhi said that BJP people keep talking nonsense, this is not an issue. In Amethi, Smriti Irani said that this report has exposed the policies of Congress. Now the country has come to know how Hindus were persecuted and suppressed during the Congress rule. The result of this is that the number of Hindus is decreasing in the country of Hindus.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the 2021 census has not been conducted yet, so where did this population figure come from? Tejashwi said that BJP is fooling the public by luring them into such fake issues. Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Surendra Jain said that in the figures the Muslim population has increased by 44% but if infiltrators are included, the Muslim population has increased even more. With the increase in population, aggression among Muslims is increasing and this is dangerous for the country. But Asaduddin Owaisi says that this is a conspiracy to break the morale of Muslims. Owaisi said that what is happening between Hindus and Muslims in the country is not a new thing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his followers scare Hindus every day that the population of Muslims is increasing. Owaisi said that if BJP is not stopped then the day is not far when India will become a Hindu nation. Since it is election time, instead of talking about the facts of this report of population imbalance, political statements are being made. This will impact the elections also but this issue is really serious.
In a diverse country like India, where Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and other communities live together, there is a mixed population, due to imbalance of population many problems arise. The fabric of society breaks. The fight for control of resources begins and such problems are seen more in areas where the population ratio has worsened. Assam and Kerala are the biggest examples of this. Fighting, riots and communal tension are often reported from some areas of West Bengal, eastern Uttar Pradesh, Seemanchal in Bihar, Bharatpur in Rajasthan and Nuh area in Haryana, where population imbalance has occurred. This is not just about India, there are many countries in the world which are struggling with this problem. Therefore we also need to be careful. The report which is being mentioned in our country today, a similar report has been issued by some sociologists of the world in which it has been said that if the population of Muslims continues to grow at the same pace, then by 2060 the population of Muslims in the world will be more than that of Christians. Will go. If the population of Muslims continues to increase at this pace, then by 2070 India will become the country with the largest population of Muslims in the world. Since Congress leaders have said that Muslims have the first right over the country’s resources, leaders of opposition parties are promising Muslim reservation, so it is obvious that this issue will be linked to the elections and questions will be asked to Congress and other opposition parties. Will go. (Rajat Sharma)
