According to wiki:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Majority of Muslims in India are either Sunni Deobandi or Sunni Barelwi, there are Shia, Sufi, Salafi and other smaller sects as well. Darul-Uloom Deoband is the most influential Islamic seminary in India and is considered second only to Egypt's Al-Azhar in its global influence.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As cited in the article, the real population of IM is pegged at 20%, rather than the 13% detailed in the 2001 census. I can't find % values for different schools and divisions, you might find it listed References section of the wiki article named, Islam in India.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->They will never support BJP
( except for Shias, who know that TSP is worse for shias than hindutva )<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There might be minor support for some time, but in the end all IM's are the same. Dangerous and a threat to national security.
