New Delhi (Monitoring Desk) Extremist Hindus in India give the impression that a large number of Indian Muslims marry more than once and have more children. On the contrary, an Indian Hindu professor has made such a revelation that even you will be stunned. According to private TV channel 24News, it is generally believed that Hindu men only have one marriage as Hinduism does not allow polygamy. However, Professor Ashok Swain has revealed that almost as many Hindu men have polygamy as Muslim men in India, and Christian men are having more polygamy than both Muslims and Hindus.
In recent days, the Chief Minister of the Indian state of Assam, Hemant Biswa Sarma, also criticized the permission of Muslims to have more than one marriage and said that this permission should be withdrawn from Muslim men and they should also be banned from having only one marriage. Like other extremist Hindus, Hemant Sarma also said that if Muslims are not made bound by one marriage, Muslims will become the majority in India in the coming years.
India’s 1.9% of Muslims have more than one wife, but 1.3% of Hindus and 2.1% of Christians also have more than one wife. In states like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu, more Hindus (percentage wise) have more than one wife than Muslims. https://t.co/CrW3eew1gJ

Similarly, 1.3 percent of Hindu men are polygamous, and in states like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu, the percentage of Hindu men is higher than that of Muslims. A total of 2.1% of Christian men in India are polygamous.
