Rise in population of a small group is always more in percent terms because base is small. The smallest possible increase in 1, is 1, so it becomes 2, but say 'double' or 100% increase, create scare while100 turn 130, 30% rise, yet difference widens more..

Lies are spread day in & day out to create a scare about growth in Muslim population, they are clever, talk in 'percent' , not real increase in [numbers] population, how much more Hindus in India than Muslims today, compared to past.

In simple terms
Case1: If you are given Rs 5 and it increases to Rs 10, then it's 100% increase or double.
Case 2: The guy who who was given Rs 50 and later increased to 70, percent rise is 40% but he's gone far ahead, difference was earlier just 45, now its 60.

As per 1951 census figures, difference was already huge, Hindu community size was ahead of Muslims--the difference was 26 crore. By 2011 census, Hindus had got a lead of 80 crore over Muslims. And projections suggest that right now, Hindus are 90 crore more, compared to Muslims.

Issue that should concern us is how selectively 'increase in percent' is taken and used, rather than real figures, to present a picture which is far from truth. Sadly, whoever owns media, has power to air misleading info, even falsehoods and create scare.

Journalism is to clarify misconceptions, not to create scare or spread lies. A bit of maths and statistics knowledge can help but propagandists obviously have no interest in them. Better read Census reports, check yourself. census2011.co.in/religion.php

Thread on Hindu and Muslim population figures, the obsession of media with increase in Muslim population in India and how propaganda is peddled, misinformation spread through newspapers and channels that Muslims will outnumber others in future. Unroll @threadreaderapp
