Another ‘smile’ in Meerut, now Kajal gave intoxicant to her husband, then killed her along with her lover

The atmosphere in Nepal these days is in a very tense situation due to protests. However, if we talk about its population and birth rate on the other side of the current situation of Nepal, then there is a lot of information related to it. Nepal is a Hindu country, where the population of Hindus is 2 crore 36 lakhs according to the 2021 census. At the same time, the total population of the country is 2.97 crore. Apart from this, 0.36 percent of the total population of the world lives in Nepal. Buddhism is the second largest religion of Nepal’s population. The Muslim community is a small part of the population.

Talking about Nepal’s birth rate, its birth rate is less than Bangladesh. According to the report of Macrotrends, Nepal’s birth rate is 1.76, while Bangladesh is 2.16. Surprisingly, Nepal’s fertility rate is being seen from year to year. According to a report by Macrotrends, Nepal’s fertility rate was 1.78 in 2024. Nepal’s fertility rate was 1.98 in 2023. In 2022, Nepal’s fertility rate was 2.00, which was 1.14% less than 2021.

Increasing Muslim population in Nepal
Nepal is traditionally considered a Hindu-dominated country, but in recent years the census figures show that the religious structure is gradually changing here. The 2021 census report states that while there has been a slight decline in the population of Hindus and Buddhists, the population of Muslims and Christians has increased. In the year 2021, the total Muslim population was around 1.5 million, which was 5.09 percent of the total population. In the year 2011, Muslims were 4.39 percent of Nepal’s total population. This means that there has been a growth of 0.69 percent in the population of Muslims in the last 10 years. With this increase, Islam has become the third largest religion in Nepal. The Muslim community is mainly concentrated in the Terai region and urban areas.
