Dear Sir, I am open to facts. I am not claiming that things are perfectly fine. Yes there are problems, but is there only a negative side to the issue? Do you feel Muslims have recieved nothing but discrimination and hate, nothing else? don't you think Musims have a huge political voice?
I really doubt that you dont. But to a third person, who is not from our country, things might otherwise. I just feel, the platform you chose to discuss these issues was not ideal. If I have offended you, I seek your forgiveness.
Jai hind.

Definitely NOT. I agree with you.
My point of view are agianst those who projectthat ALL IS FINE with Muslims in India.

Poverty is a national shame and is present in every nook and corner of society. It is our duty, as PATRIOTIC PERSON to help alliviate it. This is PATRIOTISM (DESH-BHAKTI), not blindly shutting the eyes and saying that certain section of society, Muslim or Hinuds, are so and so better!

Hope I put my point across.

You never offended me with your genuine concern and nice sentences. JAI HIND!

The thread is specifically about Indian Muslims only. I also know that POVERTY is not specific to Muslims only.

31% of Muslims in India live below poverty line: survey

NEW DELHI: According to a survey conducted by the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER) and the University of Maryland of the US, the monthly income of nearly one-third of Muslims in India is less than Rs 550. Three out of every 10 Muslims lived below the poverty line and earned less than Rs 550 a month in 2004-05, the survey revealed. Even among the poor, urban Muslims were better off compared to those in villages, who survived on Rs 338 a month during the year under review, NCAER said last week. app

Why do Pakistanis care about Indian muslims...don't you have muslims in your country to care about???...or all of them are very well off???

 

[Fighter488]

Is the comparison of Indian Muslims to the rest of the population apples to apples? i.e. is the poverty line that is used to determine poverty rate for Indian Muslims the same as the poverty line used to determine poverty rate for the whole of India?

Sachar committe made it sure, to follow the national standards for such an study. The study was exclusive for muslims but at a standard national scale!

it ia probably a way to show that muslims are suffering in poverty while hindus are rich.. it is sad that everything is linked to religion

The way Muslims are focused in this forum makes me believe that for Pakistani only Muslims are human rest are animals. So what if much more Hindus are below poverty line. The problem of poverty in India is directly related to population.

31% of about 130 million muslims in india means roughly 40 million below poverty line..
but according to this the figure in pakistan is 62 million
62 million people fall below poverty line | Pakistan | News | Newspaper | Daily | English | Online

KARACHI - The 62 million population of country has fallen below poverty line in FY09.
The State Bank of Pakistan in its annual report of economy of the county for last fiscal unveiled that World Bank’s task force on food security has estimated that the Head Count Ratio (HCR) regarding poverty increased in Pakistan to 33.8 per cent in FY08 and 36.1 per cent in FY09, indicating that 62 million population of the country might have fallen below poverty line in FY09.
SBP quoting the interim report of the Panel of Economists constituted by the government and Planning Commission, pointed out that as many as 10 million more people were expected to fall into the poverty trap. The interim report ‘Economic Stabilisation with a Human Face’ states that headcount ratio in the country may have risen by 3.5 percentage points in FY08 from 22.3 percent in FY06. Going ahead, a further rise is expected in FY09 by additional 2.7 percentage points. This brings the headcount ratio figures in the country at 28.5 per cent in FY09, SBP maintains.
The central bank pointed out that recent data suggests that between 2005 and 2009, more than 12 to 14 million people are expected to have slipped into poverty. Considering these figures, it is estimated that poverty may have risen between 30 to 35pc in FY09. SBP predicted that the global economic crisis, decline in manufacturing sector in the country and closure of industries due to power crisis is likely to push more people in poverty.

shouldnt u be worrying abt ur own population???
PLEASE LET INDIA DEAL WITH OUR POOR..WE ARE WELL AWARE OF THE POOR IN OUR NATION AND THEY INCLUDE EVERYONE..hindus muslims christians sikhs and people who dont even believe in god
WE ARE IN SECULAR IN POVERTY TOO

jai hind

Dude the comparison has to be apples to apples. Not too long ago WB said Pakistan had a poverty rate of 17%. It can't suddenly jump so much in one year. The bar for calculating poverty must have been raised to get this calculation otherwise this number is impossible.

And to compare to Indian muslims, again the bar must be the same.

 

[ARCHON]

I dont know how these people conduct these surveys and come to the conclusion that 31% indian muslims under poverty. In my state where there are like more than 25% of Muslim population, you always find them much richer than Hindus (51%) and Christians (20%).

maybe its because that they consider poorer states and take the average and come into this conclusion for sure.

Don't Indians claim there are more Muslims in India than there are in Pakistan? Hence, there would be more Indian Muslims living below the poverty line, if both countries have the same % of people living below the poverty line.

And doesn't India have a lower poverty line than the Pakistani one, or the rest of the world has? Meaning someone might be living the below the poverty line somewhere, but not in India because they used a lower standard. So your argument is moot.

Is the comparison of Indian Muslims to the rest of the population apples to apples? i.e. is the poverty line that is used to determine poverty rate for Indian Muslims the same as the poverty line used to determine poverty rate for the whole of India?

this will be taken as a troll and may be reported, now to your stupid question .... we have a common poverty line for INDIANS irrespective of their religion , caste creed or colour, ( coz we live in THE SECULAR REPUBLIC OF INDIA ) but this you will not understand coz you live in THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN.

Did you expect it to be otherwise??

 

[Surrender2me]

I thought 75% of Indian muslims are under poverty,But now i learnt that it's only 31%,they are also making progress.
Love it..
There's a long way to go to end this poverty...

 

[PakSher]

31% seems to at the lower end. Interacting with Indian muslims in Canada and the US the number seems to a lot higher.
