Here are the conditions Indian Muslims reside in:
1.
Unemployment rate among Muslim graduates is the highest among all socio-religious communities.
On Madrasa - The myth broken
Only 3% of Muslim children among the school going age go to Madarsas. There is dearth of facilities for teaching Urdu.
Attitude towards Education, in Muslims
1.
The Committee found that Muslim parents are not averse to mainstream education or to send their children to affordable Government schools.
Education of Muslim Girls -
1.
Access to government schools for Muslim children is limited.
2.
There is non-availability of schools within easy reach for girls at lower levels.
3. Absence of girls hostels and female teachers are also impeding factors.
On Banks and Muslims -
1.
The average amount of bank loan disbursed to the Muslims is 2/3 of the amount disbursed to other minorities. In some cases it is half.
2.
The Reserve Bank of India's efforts to extend banking and credit facilities under the Prime Minister's 15-point programme of 1983 has mainly benefited other minorities marginalizing Muslims. Muslim community is not averse to banking and more improvements can be brought about with specific measures.
3.
Some banks have identified a number of Muslim concentration areas as negative geographical zones where bank credit and other facilities are not easily provided. Steps should be introduced to specifically direct credit to Muslims, create awareness of various credit schemes and bring transparency in reporting of information.
Muslims and Basic Infrastructure Facilities -
1.
The concentration of Muslims in states lacking infrastructural facilities implies that a large proportion of the community is without access to basic services.
2.
In both urban and rural areas, the proportion of Muslim households living in pucca houses is lower than the total population.
3.
Compared to the Muslim majority areas, the areas inhabiting fewer Muslims had better roads, sewage and drainage and water supply facilities.
4.
Substantially larger proportion of the Muslim households in urban areas are in the less than Rs.500 expenditure bracket.
Muslims in Government Services
1.
The presence of Muslims has been found to be only 3% in the IAS, 1.8% in the IFS and 4% in the IPS.
2.
The share of Muslims in employment in various departments is abysmally low at all levels.
3.
Muslim community has a representation of only 4.5% in Indian Railways while 98.7% of them are positioned at lower levels.
4.
Representation of Muslims is very low in the Universities and in Banks. In no state does the representation of Muslims in the government departments match their population share.
5.
Their share in police constables is only 6%, in health - 4.4%, in transport - 6.5%.
Constitutional Rights for the Muslims -
1.
The Presidential Order of 1950 is inconsistent with Article 14, 15, 16 and 25 of the Constitution that guarantee equality of opportunity, freedom of conscience and protect the citizens from discrimination by the State on grounds of religion, caste or creed.
2.
The monthly Per Capita Expenditure of Muslims is much lower than the national average.
3.
Benefits of entitlements meant for the backward classes are yet to reach Muslim OBCs. The condition of Muslims in general is also lower than the Hindu-OBCs who have the benefit of reservations.
On Wakf Properties -
1.
There are about 5 lakh registered Wakfs with 6 lakh acre land and Rs 6,000 crore book value.
2. But the gross income from all these properties is only 163 crores i.e. 2.7%.
3.The management of Wakf Boards is unsatisfactorily due to inadequate empowerment of the State Wakf Boards and Centreal Wakf Council.
4.
Encroachment of Wakf properties by the State is a common practice. The attitude of the State Governments and their agencies has resulted in large scale abrogation of the cherished objectives of the Wakfs.
5. Failure on the part of the state and statutory bodies entrusted with safeguarding Wakf properties has caused disquiet in the Muslim community.
2006 Sachar committee report | Indian Muslims
Few moments ago you were saying all literate and well off Muslims migrated to Pakistan living poor Muslims behind. And less employment/literacy of women is a social issue among Muslims themselves because they are still considered a Taboo in large Muslim section(that's why Taliban blow girls schools in your country)
Yes, the well-off Mohajirs migrated to India in 1947, & did even better in Pakistan. What was left behind in UP, Bihar; once prosperous states, were "Muslim ghettos & slums".
To the people that like to blame Muslim for the Godhra train incident that killed about 60 Hindus (which resulted in the massacre of about 2000 Muslims) to justify the massacre of Indian Muslims, it has been proven by two independent inquiries that the fire was a tragic accident caused by passengers' kerosene stoves:
But it's important to consider Indian terrorism in a broader context.
Terrorism in India is by no means peculiar to Muslims. A string of recent incidents has been linked to Islamic groups, most of these with foreign ties and pertaining to Kashmir. However, the most bloody recent example of terrorism in India was the slaughter of as many as 2,000 Muslim civilians by Hindu right-wing mobs in the state of Gujarat over several months in 2002.
This horrendous pogrom was portrayed at the time as retaliation for an alleged Muslim torching of a train car carrying mostly Hindu passengers. Two independent inquiries have since concluded that the fire was, instead, a tragic accident caused by passengers' kerosene stoves.
