The condition of Indian Muslims in the light of the Chief Justice Rajindar Sachar Committee Report
Out of 180 million,these are the tokens that lay claim to fame in Bharat. Each one of them has a story to ell on how discriminaated he or she felt
In a rare moment of integrity and honestly the Indian government actually commissioned a very senior member of the Bharati judiciary to investigate the condition of Indian Muslims in Bharat. After much ado the seven-member Sachar committee Report, was headed by former Delhi High Court Chief Justice Rajindar Sachar. The other six other members Shri Sayyid Hamid, Dr T.K. Ooman, Shri M.A. Basith, Dr Akhtar Majeed, Dr Abu Saleh Shariff and Dr Rakesh Basant.
The study commissioned by Bharati Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh in March 2005, gathers dust on the bookshelf of the Indian Lok Sabha where it was presented on 30 November 2006. Various efforts to implement the recommendations of the Sacahr report languish in the corridors of power in Delhi. The Sachar report reveals the appalling state of 150 million to 180 million Muslims in India.
It clearly dispalys that in the socio-economic and educational fields the Muslims lack behind because of blatant discrimination. It concluded that the status of Indian Muslims is worse-off than the Dalits and the Adivasis (tribals). In urban areas, the report shows that Muslims mostly live in slums characterized by poor municipal infrastructure. In the rural area they eek out a subsistence level living at par or below with Sub-Saharan Africa.
