Modi Calls Muslims ‘Infiltrators’ Who Would Take India’s Wealth

Almost every time someone tries to lump this many people into one basket, the rest of what they’re saying is going to be dumb as hell.

This means they will distribute this wealth to those who have more children, to infiltrators.”
Well, you're the government in power. If you think that childrearing incentives are too high, I don't see as how you can blame someone else for that.
Muslims may be having more kids in India -- it's certainly true, at least in the US, that religion is a strong predictor of number of children. Let's look for numbers.
googles
Differential fertility between Hindus and Muslims – the two major religious groups in India – has always fuelled controversy among academicians and policymakers. According to NFHS-5, TFR among Hindus was estimated to be 1.9, while among Muslims it was 2.4.
That's a difference, though not massive compared to the ones I've seen between some US religions; the gap between atheists and the Amish is quite large.
Let me ask a question: on what grounds does one say that Muslims are having too many, rather than Hindus not enough? India has below-replacement-rate TFR today, albeit not far below. India's population is still growing, but not expected to do so for much longer. As things stand, the UN expects India's population to peak in about 2063. Muslims aren't keeping Hindus from having children. If one feels -- and perhaps one does not -- that a steady state for population is at least a sustainable target, then a target should be about 2.1...which is right in the midpoint between India's Hindus and India's Muslims, based on the above article.

When I was in India back in 2001, a lot of people were driving around with bumper stickers on their car saying "We 2 Ours 1," which was a nod to only having one child to reduce the population. I thought it was an interesting contrast to the government imposed regulations that China implemented. Sounds like Modi might have a problem with it these days.

200 million infiltrators. Somehow.

Many of whom have lived there for countless generations. Wow, that's an impressively long-running strategy they've got going on.

I might just be entirely wrong.. like really, really wrong and if so correct me. But didn’t A certain someone say something similar about people with a certain religion in Germany back in the days?

Here's an idea: make them wear a yellow crescent on their clothes, so you know who they are

Yes, I suppose the Ghurids did infiltrate India... in the 1100s...

Modi is just a bit behind on his inbox is all.

To be fair, I'm guessing the PM of a billion person country probably gets a lot of emails.

I’ve heard this sort of rhetoric before in history, but where? Hmmm
Palestine ? Turkey ? Azerbaijan ? Any former African colony ? Germany ? Nah, sorry I really can't see what you mean...
Fun fact, Hitler’s hot in India. (Or was)
I'd be pretty hot there too. I'm most comfortable at like 15°C
