Hindu population halved from 60 cr in 12th century to 30 cr in 1947 due to 'invaders'
The Daily Guardian
|September 24, 2025
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday claimed that the population of Hindus in India fell drastically from around 60 crore in the 12th century to about 30 crore at the time of Independence in 1947 due to the “atrocities of invaders”.
Addressing a state-level workshop on ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Swadeshi Sankalp’, the chief minister alleged that the decline of the Hindu population was not just due to killings but also famine, disease and other hardships faced under foreign rule.
"When Islam attacked India for the first time and till around 1100 AD, the Hindu population in the country was nearly 60 crore. By the time India attained Independence in 1947, it had reduced to just 30 crore.
"Tell me, in those 800-900 years, should our population have grown or declined? From 60 crore, we came down to 30 crore," Adityanath said.
