Hindu-Muslim Population: The population of Muslims is increasing rapidly all over the world, Pew Research has claimed a major religious change in the world population between the years 2010 and 2050. According to Pew Research, these changes will be seen due to fertility rate and religious conversion. Christians will remain the largest religious group for the next four decades, but Islam will have the fastest population growth. If this continues like this, then by the year 2050 the number of Muslims will equal that of Christians.
According to the report, Hindus will remain in majority in India till 2050, but in the coming times, most of the Muslims will reside in India. Currently, Indonesia is the largest Islamic country, where most Muslims live as compared to India and other countries. But this figure is going to change in the coming times.
According to the Pew report, the number of Muslims will increase the fastest between 2010 and 2050. The number of Muslims may increase by 73% in 2050 as compared to 2010. On the other hand, the number of Hindus is estimated to increase by only 34%. The number of Christians may increase by 35% more than Hindus.
