In India, there are approximately 172 million Muslims, which accounts for 14.2% of the total population. India is home to nearly 11% of the world’s Muslim population. Although some people claim that India has more Muslims than Pakistan, this isn’t accurate when we look at the statistics. India actually ranks third in terms of the highest Muslim population globally, with Indonesia and Pakistan having larger Muslim populations.
Muslims are the majority in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep and the region of Jammu & Kashmir. Additionally, there are significant Muslim populations in states like Assam, West Bengal, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh. For detailed figures for each state, you can refer to official sources.
