The field of education provides the evidence. If India's literacy rate is 63.07 percent, Muslims are way behind at 41.27 percent. The literacy rate among Muslim women is just 21.66 percent as against the national average of 40.54 percent, according to surveys carried out by Friends for Education.
Not more than two percent Muslims are in government jobs. Of the 479 judges at an all India level, only 30 are Muslims - that makes it just 6.26 percent. Of the 3,284 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, just 120 are Muslims.
The government-backed Sachar Committee and the Planning Commission report the pathetic educational state of Muslims in India.
On the electoral front, despite having substantial numbers - such as constituting about 20 percent of Uttar Pradesh's population and around 10 percent in other important states, Muslims have not really mattered in electoral politics.
