WORLD'S MUSLIM POPULATION &COUNTREIS POPULATION

muslim population

in india


According to Indian Government the total percentage of Muslim in India is in between 15% to 17%. Since the independence of India in 1947 the percentage of Muslim in government census has remained same, i,e, 12% or less.

In an interview with a well circulated newspaper of India "The Hindu", MR. Justice K. M. Yusuf, a retired Judge from Calcutta High Court and chairman of West Bengal Minority Commission, says that in his view the total percentage of Muslims in India is at least 25 %.

Another reason we believe that total percentage of Muslim in India is 30% at least, because if we notice the increase of population rate in Pakistan we will observe that after 1947 the total Muslim population in that country increased by almost 5 fold (Library of Congress). So, obviously the Muslim population in India has also increased at that rate. And it is well established fact the rate of increase in Indian Muslim community is very highest.

MR. Justice K.M. Yusuf, a retired judge of the Calcutta High Court, who has been appointed Chairman of the West Bengal Minority Commission only last week, believes that the bulk of the Muslim vote in West Bengal _ which he puts between 25 to 30 per cent _ will go to the Left Front and the Congress in the present elections.

In an interview to Business Line he said that lack of ``good leadership'' among the Muslims had resulted in their getting exploited in the name of religion vis-a-vis the battle of the ballot. Excerpts:

How do you think the Muslims of West Bengal will vote this time?

In West Bengal, the Muslims are feeling safe as far as their lives and properties are concerned. The Government is trying to protect them from communal violence, a common feature previously
established fact the rate of increase in Indian Muslim community is very highest.
