Phenomenol Growth of Abrahmic Religons in India

Can a community grow by a percentage figure of almost 75% in 20 years? Seems implausible, but that's what happened in India over the period of 1990 - 2010. Islamic population has increased by around 100 million in 1990 to over 177 million at the end of 2010 - that itself represents a growth rate of 75%! This is shocking, and reveals that at this rate, a population boom seems unavoidable. Couple this with low degree of education, and radicalization of children - and you have all the conditions set for rise in extremism.

The information is based on the Pew Research Report on Religion, and a brief overview can found in -
