Original Note:
The academic claims the book ignores "about 1/4 of the population" viz Muslims but that is untrue. India currently has a population of c1.45b but the Muslim population is not c360m but much closer to c200m ie 1/7th, despite no publicised official census since 2011 https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/india-population/ https://www.statista.com/topics/4548/religion-in-india/#topicOverview https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes/trending/indian-states-with-the-highest-muslim-population/photostory/111985572.cms?picid=111985586 https://support.muslimpro.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002006087-Top-10-Largest-Muslim-Populations-In-The-World https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/09/21/population-growth-and-religious-composition/
