From above URL, Pak 2010 fertility = 3.3
From NFHS-2005, Indian muslim fertility = 3.1, now must be 2.9
I am slowly turning hopeful
We have to look at entire south asian muslim fertility
BD muslims are now below Indian Hindus
Pak fertility was 6 in 1990, now 3.3, what seems to be happening in Pak is that due to poverty, births are falling
Pak fertility has fallen faster than I hoped for
Now if Indian Hindus can squeeze out 3 kids, all will be OK

I agree, Hindus need to become 90% of India. Do you know what the Christian Birth rates are in India. I assume they are lower than Hindus and that their % increases are primarily due to conversion. It's also good news that only SC's/ST's (and only a section of them) convert to Christianity, which means the pool they can choose from is only 20% of India?, so max Christian % in a worst case scenario would be 10%?
