Explain why Muslim's are marginalised community
Answers
Muslims are 13.4 per cent of India’s population and are considered to be a marginalised community in India today because in comparison to other communities, they have over the years been deprived of the benefits of socio economic development.
Recognising that Muslims in India were lagging behind in terms of various development indicators, the government set up a high-level committee in 2005. Chaired by Justice Rajindar Sachar, the committee examined the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in India. The report discusses in detail the marginalization of this community. It suggests that on a range of social, economic and educational indicators the situation of the Muslim community is comparable to that of other marginalised communities like Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Economic and social marginalisation experienced by Muslims has other dimensions as well. Like other minorities, Muslim customs and practices are sometimes quite distinct from what is seen as the mainstream.
SALUT AMIS!!
A census of 2001 claimed that there are just 2.4 percent of Muslims and thus they are considered a minority.
They follow different or distinctive cultures that all the other religions that are considered a majority.There dressing and their customs differ.So people consider them as a marginalused community.They are often relegated to the fringes of society...!!
