It is often asked which district of Uttar Pradesh has more Muslim population. In response to this question, if we look at the figures of 2011, then Moradabad’s name is seen in the first place with 50.82 percent Muslim population. At the same time, Rampur district is in second place, where 50.57 percent were Muslims. Since the situation has changed a lot after the census at that time. Cut from Moradabad district has become a separate district. In such a situation, the question becomes present as to who is now the district with the most Muslim population.
The correct answer to this question will be found only after the census figures in the year 2021 become public. However, many other agencies including the United Nations release the estimated figures of the population from time to time. If we look at these figures, Sambhal-Murabad and Aligarh or Bijnor, but Rampur is the most Muslim population district. See the report of the 2011 census before proceeding in the news. At that time, the total Muslim population in Moradabad was 50.82 percent.
Muslim population was 50.57 percent in Rampur
This figure was more than half. Similarly, 50.57 percent Muslim population was recorded in Rampur. At the same time, 43.03 percent in Bijnor, 41.95 percent in Saharanpur and 41.30 percent in Muzaffarnagar. However, after the 2011 census, Shamli has become a separate district from Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar districts. Therefore, a large number of Muslim population of these two districts is now being counted in the included district.
Muslim population has increased rapidly in the state
According to the 2011 census, the total population in Uttar Pradesh was 20 crores. In this, the Muslim population was said to be around 3 crore 84 lakhs. Accordingly, the shares of the Muslim population were about 19.26 percent of the total population of the state. With this, Uttar Pradesh had become a state with about 3.85 crore Muslim population in the country. According to the latest data, the shares of Muslim population in Sambhal, Moradabad and Rampur etc. have increased rapidly. According to the report, Sambhal was a separate district in the year 2012. Therefore, in the official report, the actual population of this district is not stated. However, in an estimate, it has been claimed that this district has 60-70 percent Muslim population.
