indian muslim population

from the time of independence of india to the current day the indian leaders have said that the muslim population of india is greater than that of pakistan. we should remember that bangladesh was also a part of pakistn before 1971.and in that year the population of west pakistan (that is the current day pakistan) was 80 milliom and that of east pakistan (that is the current day bangladesh) was 90 million if we add that we get apopulation of 170 million in 1971 of which 90% were muslim or 153 million. so how many muslims are today in india ?

the latest census shows the population as follows from wikipedia bangladesh 147,365,352 muslims 88% pakistan  165,803,560 muslims 98% india     1,080,264,388 muslim ?%

almost all of the sources say that the indian muslim population is higher than given by the goverment. you can find thiese sources on the net to.

the sources are http://www.themodernreligion.com/quotations_muslims_india.htm http://www.irib.ir/worldservice/englishradio/ISLAM/muslindia.htm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4235999.stm http://www.islamicpopulation.com/asia_islam.html http://www.islamicpopulation.com/india_muslim.html http://www.islamawareness.net/Asia/India/

almost every body except the indian govt thinks other ways

East Indian to South Asian in Mississauga, Ontario
The data that is being quoted from Statistics Canada uses the term East Asian, so that's the term we have to use. I have disambiguated it so it links to "South Asian", though. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 16:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
