Synopsis Muslims constitute the second largest group of people after the Hindus. Their participation in the socio-economic as well as political process is considered of vital importance. Since the post-independence, India opted for a planed approach for growth and development encompassing all sectors of the populace it is matter of concern as to how far the Muslims have benefited from the state intervention in the growth process. The proposed book makes an attempt to look into the different segments of this problem. This theme is discussed under four broad parts – Introduction, Employment Scenario, Socio-Economic Status and General. The papers included are the contributions of eminent people belonging to different vocations, viz. academics, administration, who have presented their concern vividly. Some of us have been arguing for quite sometime now that though there maybe general backwardness but the Muslims as a class have been left out for one reasons or the other from the main stream. In view of this we have result of that. It is hoped that this would generate further debate for a better tomorrow.
