The False stories about Kerala..

A relative wrote to me : ‘Kerala is going to be converted to a Muslim State just like Kashmir.’

I wrote back : I am again asking that you get out of the BJP failed classes and look up facts yourself –easily available to anyone on the net. In 2016, Kerala’s total fertility rate (TFR) was 1.8 which is not even enough to replace the present population, so it is set to shrink. 15 years BJP ruled Rajasthan’s total fertility rate is 2.7, a third more than Kerala’s. Should kerala feel threatened from Rajasthan as a result ? Are not such ideas ridiculous ?

The TFR for Kerala Muslims is 1.86, again below replacement level, which means the Kerala Muslim population is shrinking. Please note it is far below the fertility rate for Rajasthan as a whole, which is 88 % Hindu. The decadal growth rate of Kerala Muslims was 13 %, far below that of the country as a whole, at 18 %.

India’s Muslim population is growing slower than it had in the previous decades, and its growth rate has slowed more sharply than that of the Hindu population. The Muslim population still grows at a faster rate than the Hindu population, but the gap between the two growth rates is narrowing fast.

The Muslim population has grown faster as a result of higher Muslim fertility, higher child mortality among Hindus, and a greater life expectancy among Muslims. However, the Muslim community in India is expected to reach replacement levels of fertility by 2050.

Triple talaq par bhi baat karenge. But the sex ratio among Muslims is 951 females for every 1,000 males, while among Hindus, it is 939 females for every 1,000 males. This implies that Indian Muslims choose to birth more girls, and see through more of them to health and adulthood, than do Hindus.
