Bhakts are giving Population as one the reasons for the current healthcare crisis in the country and they are targetting Muslims for population growth in India.

First let's see the facts.

1951 Census

Hindus: 30.35 crores
Muslims: 3.54 crores.
Others: 2.21 crores.
2011 Census

Hindus: 96.62 crores
Muslims: 17.22 crores.
Others: 7.16 crores.

Population growth since 1951

Hindus: 66.2 crores
Muslims: 13.68 crores.
Others: 4.95 crores.

% annual growth rate since 1951
Hindus: 1.95%
Muslims: 2.67%
Others: 2.04%
Now if you see the data. Muslims have grown only 13.68 crores since 1951 while Hindus have increased by 66.2 crores. Muslims grew by 2.67% considering their lower base while Hindus have grown by 1.95% annually since 1951.

Now let's consider if current population increased
in India is because Muslims grew by 2.67% compared to Hindus 1.95%.

If Muslims had also grew at the same rate as Hindus that's 1.95% annually then the decrease in India's population would've been merely 6 crores in the country with a population of 121 crores.
So you want us to believe 6 crores higher Muslims are the reason for the healthcare crisis in India with a population of 121 crores.
