Educational Backwardness of Muslims - Positive approach needed

Even after 59 years of Independence Indian Muslim remain educationally the most backward community in India a fact clearly demonstrated by the religion based census conducted recently in February - march 2001 by the office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, Delhi under the Census of India Act, 1948. It is important that the community, its leaders and various political outfits in the country analyze this date and formulate a long term strategy with "Vision and Mission" for the future. As a first step, let us carry out an objective SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats) analysis of the current situation.

Our strength is in our numbers, our population that is spread evenly across the country.We are skilled especially in arts and crafts. Our strength lies in the democratic set up of the country, the rights guaranteed to us by the constitution and an independent judiciary that is there to protect these rights. Above all our strength lies in our belief in oneness.
