There is big barriers and threats in the growth of Muslims. India is very big and highly populated country. India's 13.4% population is consisted by the Muslims, according to 2001 census and it is second largest in the world after Indonesia. The question arises either population is boon or burden. The answer varies from scholars to scholars. Thomas Robert Malthus considered population as a burden while Meadows considered as boon. I feel it depends upon their nature and structure of occupation or Job. But Indian Muslims have been known as burden for the society, because they never learn any thing from their past experiences.
In the year 2006 a committee presented their report on social, economical and educational status of Muslims in India. This committee is called Sachar Committee, which opened the eyes of Muslims for a micro-seconds and later on eyes remain closed as usual. No doubt this report suggested for adaptation of suitable mechanism to ensure equity and equality of opportunities to Muslims in residential, work and educational spaces. According to Sachar Committee report the status of Indian Muslims are below the conditions of Scheduled Castes and Tribe castes.
When i personally came to know about the report, then i thanked to Justice Rajinder Sachar for his dedicated job. I was sure that, Now Muslims Scholars will do some thing for the overall development of this backward community. Within a year government launched various schemes like Minority Scholarship, 16.47 Crore contribution for National Minority Development and Finance Corporation and proposals for next 63 Crore for NMDFC. The fact is that we haven't learn any lesson from that report.
The Gulf countries are also responsible for the illiteracy among the Indian Muslims. They people need labor, drivers, toilet cleaners, watchmen etc........ and no one can do these works better than Indians because Indians are really very hard worker and very honest as well as loyal to their duties. No doubt they pays more than any other countries may pay. Even labor earns 10000-15000 per month. In India even engineers and doctors cant earn so much. So Indian Muslims loves to make their careers in Golf without any thought. Bihar is considered as the most backward state of India in all the respects of life but it shocking to know that Siwan districts gets maximum abroad money in comparison to rest districts of India.
No doubt Muslims have some good supports from abroad like IDB Scholarship, many other Scholarship for Muslims, Zakat, Khairat. But extremely sorry to say that the higher authorities of Muslims in India are highly corrupted. A simple and needy student cant get IDB Scholarship because he don't have any link with Jamat-e-Islami Hind, and other religious parties. A common needy who deserves to get Zakat cant get because it is already taken by rich Muslims in the name of Madarsa and other organization. A well dedicated and qualified student cant get minority Scholarship because he don't have such strong documentary proofs.
If some one have abilities to tackle all these situations then he afraid of being Muslim because he can be named as terrorist. Gujrat Muslims were emerging in the field of Business and they all were demolish in Godra Incident. So,it is too difficult for Muslims to explore their potentials.
The higher authority of this country and specially Muslims must think about it. Muslims are born to show true path but fortunately or unfortunately they have forgotten their own path. They have lost humanistic values and social importance. Muslims have to go miles away before Akhrat. May Allah give the courage to beer and tackle all sorts of situation in optimistic way.
