seedhi Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Total live births see a dip in city, except among Muslims Written by Tabassum Barnagarwala | Mumbai | Posted: July 24, 2014 1:02 am The total number of live births in the city declined in the last 10 years, but the share of Muslims in it has gone up by a significant nine per cent. During the last decade, almost all other major communities in the city saw a drop in their birth count. The data obtained by Newsline from BMC’s health department through Right to Information (RTI) shows births recorded in the Hindu community dropped 20 per cent, from 1.42 lakh in 2003 to 1.14 lakh in 2013. Amongst Christians, the number of births dipped 3.68 per cent, from 3,339 in 2003 to 3,216 last year. The Parsi births fell from an already low of 193 in 2003 to an all-time low of 174 in 2013. While Muslim births accounted for 20.53 per cent (38,271 births) of the total 1.84 lakh births recorded by the BMC in 2003, their share in 2013 increased to 29.37 per cent, accounting for 51,465 of the total 1.75 lakh births in the city last year. It also registered a significant 34 per cent rise since 2003. Noorjehan Safia Niaz, co-founder of Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, said that while more and more Muslims were getting educated, a major chunk still remained illiterate. “We logically link literacy with family planning. A lot of Muslims, especially in rural areas, are still uneducated and the trend of having more children is common in them,†Niaz said. According to Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life, the Muslim population in India is estimated to increase from 177.3 million in 2010 to 236.2 million in 2030. The Muslim share of India’s population is expected to touch 15.9 per cent in 2030. Dr Suchitra Pandit, president of FOGSI (Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India), said, “Culturally speaking, Hindu and Christian women prefer to work professionally more than Muslim women do. Hindu women in metros want to limit their family to one child. In Parsis, the marriage is so late that often the couples have one or no child.†Another interesting finding from the RTI data is the increased share of Muslims in the overall female births in the city. From 18,600 (20.82 per cent of total Muslim births) in 2003, Muslim female births steadily rose to 24,821 (29.4 per cent) in 2013. Female births amongst Hindus, however, dropped — from 76.5 per cent to 65 per cent — of the total female births. http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/total-live-births-see-a-dip-in-city-except-among-muslims/

randomGuy Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Like allocation for defense, education, health etc, Indian budget should also have allocation for bring people back to their original religion i.e. Hinduism. Changing history books to tell how vast majority of Muslims of Indian sub-continent became Muslims is very important.

Some educated ones do accept but majority do not

Given advances in medicine and less war (in comparison) there don't need to be as many births to balance the population. Many Muslims in the west are happy to have smaller families, the moderate families in south asia will soon catch on as well.

Correcting history books is fine.
Detonator Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 why there is no threads on the recent agra conversion row??

gslv Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 To which caste they should be re converted to? convert them via Arya samaj. no caste. problem solved.:two_thumbs_up:
Detonator Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 To which caste they should be re converted to? Good question. I think it's time to remove caste system and govt community certificate things. All caste should have equal rights and must fall under uniform civil code. No reservations too.
BeautifulGame Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Good question. I think it's time to remove caste system and govt community certificate things. All caste should have equal rights and must fall under uniform civil code. No reservations too. So what to do with most of the villages were we have separate housing units for every caste ? Or Where all land owners tend to be upper castes and labours are lower castes . Should the upper castes housing units and lands be equally distributed to lower castes ?
BeautifulGame Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 convert them via Arya samaj. no caste. problem solved.:two_thumbs_up: Basic question? If they are converted to no caste system who will they marry their sons and daughters to considering most of our people tend to marry only within their caste .Let alone the issues of their livelihood

I support if you are talking about the rich and poor, regardless of the caste. Oh, so what to do with the so called lower caste peeps (politicians or some highly corrupt govt officiers got a job on reservation) accumulated a lot of wealth? Should that be equally distributed to the poor people including the upper caste? If your fantasy should come true, the people who benefited via reservations should be stripped off their earnings since they came in unfairly.

If we change the history books, the younger generation in their formative years will read about the common ancestry of Hindus and Muslims and how we got divided in 2 countries due to Islam. they will also be taught that Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are the religions of Indian subcontinent and that Islam was brought by invading armies and how they were converted. Also they will continue to see the jihadi terror that still goes on in various Islamic countries. Its worth a try. Impediment wont be the Muslims as much. It will be the so-called secular parties. Many Hindus only will get influenced by them and wont approve. Plus I dont know if RSS/VHP etc have the brains to run a conversion program properly.
Khalpat Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 RG's sarcastic post has gone horribly wrong.

Khalpat Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 whether that is possible or not in india is a different matter but I was being serious yar. oh comeon! you can't be serious.
randomGuy Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 oh comeon! you can't be serious. Why? Would u be agitated if that were to happen?
Khalpat Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Why? Would u be agitated if that were to happen? Ofcourse I will be. I beleive in the ideology that, "History teaches us only one thing that history teaches us nothing". Whatever is there in the Text Book, let it remain as it is. If someone wants to learn and has interest in the reason of India partition or who all are invaders and who are not, they can learn it in the Univesitry courses. No need of bringing these things in small children's History Book.
