Final answer:

India's large Muslim population is due to the country's overall size and geographical concentrations of Muslims.


Explanation:

India is home to one of the world's largest Muslim populations due to its sheer population size. Even though only 12 percent of India's population is Muslim, this equates to about 140 million people, which is a substantial number.

India's Muslim population is primarily concentrated in specific regions such as the north along the Ganges River Basin, eastern India near the border with Bangladesh, and the significant Muslim population in Kashmir.

Major urban centers in countries like the United States also have large concentrations of Muslim immigrants from countries including India, Pakistan, and the Middle East.
