Key Points

Muslims as per 2011 Census:-
- It indicates that only 0.142% of India's population identified themselves as Muslims in 2011.
- This figure is notably lower than some of the other large Muslim-majority countries in the world, such as Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
- The Muslim population in India has increased since 2011, but it is still a minority religion in the country.
- It is important to note that religion is a sensitive topic in India, and there have been instances of communal tensions and violence between different religious groups.
