Demographics
Islam has had a very slow rate of growth in Odisha even during the Muslim rule as there had never been any major Musim missionary work. The current population of Muslims in Odisha is 761,985 (2001 census), roughly 2.1% of the total population. The city of Bhadrak has the maximum number of Muslims as a percentage of the total population (about 35%). The Oriya Muslims have a literacy rate of 71.3%, higher than the national average of 64.9%.
