Latest Census data shows youth surge: Nearly 41% of India's population is below the age of 20

The latest census 2011 data released on Tuesday shows that around 41 percent of India's is below the age of 20 years. According to The Times of India, half the population is in the 20-59 age group while 9 percent is above the age of 60.
According to the data, Muslims in the country have the highest proportion of children and teenagers among all religions. While 47 percent of the children and teenagers are Muslims, 40 percent are Hindus and 29 percent are Jains, the report said.
The report also said that there are trends of declining proportion of children and increasing share of elderly across all religious communities.
In August last year, the census data on religion had shown that the Muslim community had registered a moderate 0.8 percent growth to touch 17.22 crore in the 10-year period between 2001 and 2011, up from 13.8 crore, while Hindu population had shown a decline by 0.7 percent at 96.63 crore during the period.

The data had also said that the Christian population is 2.78 crore (2.3 percent), Sikh 2.08 crore (1.7 percent), Buddhist 0.84 crore (0.7 percent), Jain 0.45 crore (0.4 percent), Other religions and persuasions (ORP) 0.79 crore (0.7 percent) and religion not stated 0.29 crore (0.2 percent).
As per 2001 census, India's total population was 102 crore, of which Hindu population comprised of 82.75 crore (80.45 percent) and Muslims were 13.8 crore (13.4 percent).
The growth rate of population in the decade 2001-2011 was 17.7 percent.
More alarming than the data on religious communities, however, was data on education. Census data released in November had revealed that only 4.5 percent of the population in the country is educated upto the level of graduate or above while a majority of 32.6 percent population is not even educated upto the primary school level.
During the decade 2001-11, improvement was observed at middle and above educational levels and decline in percentage share at lower levels (below-primary and primary).
The improvements at higher educational levels are indication of educational advancement in the country during the decade 2001-11.

0.7% & 0.8% population growth does not represent all facts.
As per census during last 10 years,
New Born Hindus = 13.88 crore
New Born Muslims = 3.42 crore
% of Muslims to Hindus in New Born Population = 24.63%
% of Muslims to Hindus in Overall Population = 17.82%
Is anything incorrect in these calculations?

Why does the "Gujarat Model" produce more babies than Kashmir?
Population growth is influenced by the number of children per woman and not by how many wives are allowed! Just look at the fertility rates on different states and their Muslim population:
Jammu & Kashmir (Muslim Pop: 68.3%) = 1.9.
Kerala (Muslim Pop: 26.6%) = 1.8.
West Bengal (Mulsim Pop: 27.0%) = 1.6.
Gujarat (Muslim Pop: 9.7%) = 2.3.

What is the reason for this government to release census data with only
religion based statistics? Why not release the same data based on caste,
region, income and education?
Anyone who has even a basic
understanding of statistics will know that "correlation is not
causation". To evaluate whether certain trends are due to religion alone
or also influenced by other socioeconomic variables, the government
must release all data.

No, Sir. Your link does not give caste or income based sorting for age or fertility.
All over the world,it is standard practice to co-relate life expectancy,
birth rates, education level and other quality of life indicators by
class of income. In our country since class mostly with overlaps caste
division, both are important.
The census organization releases data only selectively. I have never been able to get from census sources data on population growth, life expectancy or fertility figures sorted by income or caste. Only data by by religion is readily available.

Something about the numbers doesn't add up. 41 percent of population is 60 cr. 47 percent of that is abt 28 crore. That is more than total no of Muslims by 10cr as per article. Please get your numbers right

And easily 20 of the 41 will be muslims, mostly from waste-candidate states of WB, UP and Bihar -- who will contribute negatively to the nation on-whole!

These are some of the acts which is considered as H0ly and D!vine by Mull@ P!gs...Now i know where they come from ...Please read
They are all holy, divine acts to be emulated by all Muslim men. They are all Sunna [The traditional portion of Muslim law based on Muhammad’s words or acts, accepted (together with the Koran) as authoritative by Muslims].
Molested his wife – six-year-old Baby Aisha. One of Baby Aisha’s wifely duties was to clean semen stains from the prophet’s clothes. The prophet would take a bath with Baby Aisha and thigh with Baby Aisha taking his penis and rubbing it up and down her thighs. Being a man of mercy he did not penetrate Baby Aisha until she was nine.
Raped Baby Aisha when she was nine (texts can have been altered to change the age. Koranic texts claim he married her when she was six and he may have consummated the marriage then as well. Reason for this being that other indications in the Hadith shows that Mohammed was a pedophile). Advocated sex with baby girls.
Raped a retarded woman. Murdered a woman. Had sex with his dead aunt.
Captured women and raped them. Kept women as sex slaves. Muhammad had sex with 61 women: many he raped. There is no consensual sex between a child girl and a man. There is no consensual sex between a master and his sex slave. There is no consensual sex between a woman conquered in war and her husband conqueror. All such sexual acts are rape. RAPE IS RAPE.
Had eleven wives at one time. Sexually abused his wives. Raped his wives. Forced sex during their menstruation including Baby Aisha. Mentally abused his wives. Can you imagine taking a child (or any aged woman) and molesting with your hand/fist her menstruating vagina?
Beheaded his enemies. 600/900 Jewish men at one massacre. Had Jewish boys as young as 13 years old beheaded after pulling down their pants and inspecting groin for pubic hair.
Ordered the murder, torture, terrorization of Christians and Jews if they did not convert to Islam. Forced Christians and Jews from Saudi Arabia (the mass exile).
Assassinated people for insulting him or Islam. Established totalitarian rule. Had followers and their families burnt alive in their homes for missing prayer.
Ordered the extermination, torture and terrorization of kafirs. Instigated 60 massacres and personally participated in 27 of them.
Owned and sold slaves. Enslaved women and children.
Called his black slaves pug noses and compared them to Satan.
Treated his black slaves as beasts of burden.
No befriending Christians and Jews.
Subjugated and oppressed Muslim women. Required them to cover their faces.
Married his daughter–in–law.
Approved prostitution.
Encouraged the rape of women in front of their husbands.
Recommended wife beating. Hit his wife – Baby Aisha.
Murdered prisoners of war. Committed acts of terror.
Advocated suicide attacks.
Executed apostates and homosexuals.
Beat children who didn’t pray. Abolished adoption.
Honor killings of Muslim women and children.
Beat alcoholics. Lied.
Stoned adulators to death. Stoned a woman to death after she had given birth.
Ordered thief’s hands/feet chopped off.
Tortured a man out of greed.
Looted and plundered.
Preached hate for people of other religions.
Extorted money from other religions
Forced conversions to Islam
Allowed his companions to execute, behead, rape and enslave.
