The PM-EAC working paper does not conclude that Muslims will outnumber Hindus in India. However, the paper’s assertion that population growth reflects minority well-being does not consider complex interplay of factors contributing to demographic change, adding to preexisting misconceptions. The percentage changes concern their own shares and not a share of the total population. The rate of change in shares does not reflect actual population growth numbers. Similarly, the decline in the Parsi population by 86.7 percent does not suggest targeted persecution.
