Economic Advisory Council Report Reveals Significant Demographic Shifts in India
A recent report by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) has delved into the demographic changes India has undergone over the past seventy years. The analysis, spanning from 1950 to 2015, highlights a notable decline in the proportion of the Hindu population, juxtaposed with a significant increase in the Muslim community. Factors such as differential birth rates, migration patterns, and socio-political dynamics are attributed to these demographic shifts. The report underscores the importance of interpreting these statistics within India's diverse cultural landscape and advocates for inclusive policies to address emerging challenges while fostering social cohesion across communities.
