Notes
• Denotes High Muslim Growth States
Indicates Districts with a growth in Muslim population, which is higher than the all India and the state average during 1981-91, but not so during 1951-1991 or 1961-91
1….. The high Muslim Growth States are those where the amount of the increase in the Muslim population during 1951-1991 is higher than the all India increase for the same period. These states are: Assam, Bhihar, Goa, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Delhi.
It will be noted that during 1961 – 1991, the increase in Maharashtra exceeds the all India increase.
2….. The High Muslim Growth Districts (shaded in the map) are those Districts with a Muslim population larger than 5% and where the increase in the percentage of Muslim population, during any of the periods 1951-1991, 1961-1991 or 1981-1991, is higher than the corresponding increase in both at the all India level and in the State to which the particular District belongs.
The ‘Rest’ figures for a State indicates the percentage and the change in the percentage of Muslim population for the State after deducting the population figures for the High Growth Districts from its total population. Please note the comments for Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
3….. Jammu and Kashmir and its Districts, and Lakshadweep have not been included in the Table or the Map.
4….. District in the Table and the Map are mostly as per the 1971 Census. Several Districts have been split or reorganized after 1971 census. If the newly constituted Districts appear in the Table, their names are given in italics. Where the name of the District has changed after 1971 Census, we have given the current name.
5….. Certain 1991 High Muslim Growth Districts like Lakhimpur (formed from Lakhimpur District of Assam), Shibsagar and Golghat (formed from Sibsagar District of Assam), Yamunaanagar (formed from Ambala District of Haryana), Maharajgunj (formed from Gorakhpur District in U.P.) have been constituted after the 1981 Census. They do not appear in the Table or the Map even though they seem to have a high Muslim growth during 1981-1991, as the 1981 data for them is not available.
