Fomenting and spreading false and fabricated paranoia.
Trump in the US is also doing pretty much the same.
Significantly, it's not only Bangladesh, now it's also Pakistan!!!
Regardless, the SIR casts its net far wider.
In the name of weeding out the "infiltrators", or "purification" of the voters' lists, it sets out to eliminate
all the poor and marginalised by radically revising the set procedure and in order to demand documents virtually impossible to be produced by them. (In Bihar, in the "final" voters' list, the proportion of women has thus markedly fallen -- reversing the recent trends: <

[Post-2011, no decadal census has been done.
The following is an estimate of religious demography in India produced by the ChatGPT:
Total India population in 2021: ~ 1,414,203,896 (from World Bank / FRED)
Projected 2020 religious shares (Pew estimates):
• Hindus ~ 79%, Muslims ~ 15%, Christians ~ 2%
2011 census counts / shares: Hindus ~ 79.8%, Muslims ~ 14.2%, Christians ~ 2.3%
So, from 2011 to 2020, the absolute numbers of both the Hindus and Muslims have rather modesty risen. However, the rate of rise of Muslims is still a bit higher than that of the Hindus, though the gap is constantly closing over the last decades. Thus, the proportion of Hindus is estimated to have marginally gone down from 79.8% to 79% and that of the Muslims has gone up from 14.2% to 15%. A far far cry from Muslims overtaking Hindus ever.]
