A recent report by the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (EAC-PM) has highlighted significant demographic shifts in India's population from 1950 to 2015. The study found that the Hindu population decreased by 7.8%, while the Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and Sikh populations increased, with the Muslim population rising by 43%. This shift has sparked a political debate, with various leaders and parties expressing divergent views on the implications of these changes. The BJP has criticized the Congress for policies they claim have led to this demographic shift, while opposition figures like Asaduddin Owaisi have dismissed the report's findings as 'WhatsApp University material'.
