Bangladeshi-origin Miya Muslims may form 40% of Assam’s population by 2027: CM Himanta Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that Bangladeshi-origin Miya Muslims will constitute 40 percent of the population in the 2027 census, a significant rise from 21 percent when he began his political career. He warned of a demographic shift where indigenous populations could fall below 60 percent, potentially leading to annexation concerns.
