Shoma Chaudhury's video: Is Muslim population explosion real SY Quraishi takes on an explosive issue Shoma Chaudhury

A polarising question: is there a Muslim population explosion in India? Right wing groups often evoke a religious demographic war: “Hum paanch, hamare pachees”. The idea that Muslims have 4 wives & procreate indiscriminately. Is there any data to back this claim? Or is it just ugly negative propaganda? How should one look at the population question in India? Fascinating. Eye-opening. Former CEC, SY QURAISHI — who has written a book called The Population Myth — cites data from independence to the current day to capture the real picture on ground. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Introduction 1:19 What prompted him to write the book 5:00 Alarming facts that contradict population myths 7:08 How to interpret statistics without misrepresenting a community 9:34 Understanding Fertility Rates and religious demographics 14:45 Why Muslims are lagging in Family Planning 17:27 Islamic position on Family Planning 21:27 Perspectives on polygamy 24:46 Grounds on which Hindu right wing creates population scare 29:39 What explains the lack of education in the Muslim community 31:48 Are coercive methods for population control effective? 36:51 Response of other Muslim countries on family planning 40:02 What sustained his interest in population studies 45:14 Position on Uniform Civil Code 48:03 Why are Assam and Haryana exceptions 49:55 Appeals of the right wing 51:15 How to read the Hindu Muslim divide --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .
