The essence of the book:

  • The book evaluates India’s demographics from a religious perspective and seeks to demolish two basic myths that ‘Islam is against family planning’ and ”Muslim rate of growth” is linked to capture political power.
  • The book is a detailed analysis of the ‘Muslim rate of growth’ in the light of population data and national and international reports.
  • The book examines the crucial and urgent question of the politicisation of demography in India.

About S Y Quraishi:

Quraishi, who was CEC from July 30, 2010, to June 10, 2012, introduced a number of electoral reforms, such as the creation of a voter education division, expenditure monitoring division, the India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management, and launched the National Voters Day.
