India has the second largest Muslim population in the world- Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

Washington DC | India has the second largest Muslim population in the world and that population is only growing in numbers. If there is a perception or in reality, their lives are difficult or made difficult with the support of the State which is what is implied in most of these write-ups, I would ask if will this happen in India, will the Muslim population be growing than what it was in 1947 as opposed to Pakistan which was formed at the same time? Every minority has been dwindling in its number or decimated in Pakistan. Even some of the Muslim sects also have been decimated there. Whereas, in India, you would find every strand of Muslim doing their business, their children being educated, given fellowships: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on ‘negative Western perceptions’ of India.
