Question

Explain the term ' minorities '. Why do they lag behind the majority community, both educationally and economically? How can they get their rightful place in society ?​

Answer 1

The communities whose number is much less than the majority community are known as minority communities like Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, Jains, Persians, Anglo-India, etc., on the basis of race, religion or language. Among all the minorities, Muslims are the largest single minority community in India. They lag behind the majority community, both educationally and economically. A large part of Muslim population suffers from backwardness due to obstaining from the mainstream education and opting for traditional education, which is primarily religious. Many Muslim parents still prefer to send their children to a traditional Islamic education institutions, called Madarsa and not for modern education.
They can get their rightful place in the society by opting for modern education and are becoming a part of mainstream.
