A bombshell social media post by VHP’s Vinod Bansal has ignited discussions on India’s changing population dynamics, painting a picture of demographic imbalance that threatens the nation’s core. On Tuesday, Bansal used X to expose what he calls an explosive rise in Muslim numbers, urging Hindus to wake up before it’s too late.
Recalling a provocative call by a Muslim figure for unchecked family expansion—’Forget two or three; go for dozens till Allah wills’—complete with personal tallies of massive progenies, Bansal linked it to resurgent ‘population jihad’ ideologies. Though possibly timed for UP polls, its national ramifications are profound.
Hard numbers tell the tale: Between 1951 and 2011, India’s populace ballooned threefold to 1.2 billion. Muslims, however, multiplied by five, from 34 million to 172 million, boosting their proportion from under 10% to 14.2%. Hindus slipped from 84% to nearly 80%. Border areas bear the brunt—200 districts, 300 tehsils transformed, 116 villages now Muslim-majority, and Hindus minorities in nine states.
Bansal blamed a toxic mix: violent attacks on Hindus, love jihad tactics, conversions, infiltrations, and jihadist breeding strategies, worsened by appeasement politics from Congress-era governments. This isn’t organic growth; it’s engineered disruption.
His roadmap for Hindus is clear: Promote timely weddings for 19-25-year-olds, insist on minimum three kids per family for a robust youth bulge against aging and invasions. Turning to Muslim women, he slammed regressive customs chaining them to reproduction roles amid modern India’s progress. ‘Our girls soar in skies; don’t let extremists drag you back centuries,’ he implored.
Bansal’s clarion call arrives amid electoral fervor, positioning population as a pivotal issue. India stands at a crossroads—act now to secure demographic stability, or risk irreversible shifts that could redefine the republic’s soul.
