India has been projected to have the largest Muslim population by 2050. This has been revealed by a report by American think tank Pew Research Centre. The report says there will be 30 crore Muslims in India by 2050, a population which will constitute 11 per cent of the global trend. The research also says that India will continue to house the largest number of Hindus in the world, with their population rising to 130 crore. Currently, Indonesia has the largest Muslim population. There are two main reasons for rising population of Muslims by 2015. Firstly high fertility rates and secondly young median age. According to the report, Muslim women in India have an average of 3.2 children per woman while in other religions the average is 2.3. Muslim population in India will grow by 2050, however three in four people in India will still be Hindus. According to this report, the population of Hindus in India will be larger than the Muslim populations in largest Muslim states India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh combined. The research centre has projected the Muslim population will increase faster than the world population as whole.
