Islam in Uttar Pradesh () numbers about 30,740,158 (18.4961%), according to 2001 census, and forms the largest religious minority in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. They are also known as Urdu speakers, on account of Urdu being their native language, and have also been referred to as Hindustani Musalman〔(Indian Census 2001 - Religion )〕 (). In the strict sense, the Uttar Pradesh Muslims do not form a single ethnic community. They are differentiated by sectarian and Baradari divisions, as well as by dialect and geographical distribution. Nevertheless, the Uttar Pradesh Muslims possess a sense of group identity based on cultural and historic factors. These include the Islamic religion, a Persian cultural tradition and its Indian offspring, the Urdu language.〔Muslim Peoples: volume 2: A World Ethnographic Survey edited by Richard Weekes pages 823 to 828〕 They are also a disproportionately urban community, reflecting an old historic legacy.
