Abstract

In numerous parts of the country, Dalit Muslim community continues to lag behind other socio-religious categories in socio-economic and educational development. The condition of this community is dreadful with regard to educational attainment, income, employment in public sector, access to healthcare and other infrastructures, and there is a disproportionately high share of community members in prisons. Identity stereotyping, communal violence, ghettoisation etc. are other major issues which these community faces. Among others, the deprivation of community has been a result of their exclusion from important spheres of socio-economic decision making, lack of political empowerment, discrimination, frequent occurrence of communal violence etc. The Sachar Committee Report (2006) highlights most of these issues and deprivations which the community faces across almost all the states of India.
