چکیده
The aim of this study is to examine the change of population composition in terms of religion and language in the districts of state Assam in Northeast India during post independence period. The analysis is based on district level census data of Assam during 1951 to 2001. The result shows that the proportion of Muslim population has been rising rapidly in some districts whereas the Hindu population is declining and losing their share in all the districts of Assam. The change of religious composition has been projected by using polynomial curve fitting and it is found that Hindu and other religion may become minority in Assam after 2040 in comparison to combined proportion of Muslim and Christian population. The growth of various language speaking population is also analyzed and it is observed that the proportion of Bengali speaking population is also rapidly rising but the proportion of Assamese speakers are declining in all the districts of Assam. To investigate the impact of cross border migration the growth of Muslim population in Assam and Bangladesh is also compared in this study.
