ANSWER: Muslim
 
47% of Muslims are aged below 20 years, the highest among all religious communities, while it was 40 per cent for Hindus, according to the data. Around 41% of India's population is below the age of 20, with Muslims having the highest proportion of children and teenagers among all religions, according to Census 2011 data that was released recently. The share of the young population has, however, declined in the country since the previous census in 2001, when it was 45 per cent.
