Muslims and Development Deficit Micro Realities in Uttar Pradesh - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Muslims are the largest minority community of India. The nature and quantum of their development deficit is difficult to assess given the concealment of data across socio-religious communities. Even the government appointed committees failed to have access to comprehensive religion specific data. Furthermore the available details on selected indicators at macro level are not provided at micro level. It is important to raise a question why are community-wise complete data, not made available to public or researchers despite comprehensive recording and large scale computerization? What is the rationale of making religion-wise macro level data (on selected indicators) public and keeping micro level data secret? It is beyond imagination. Policies formulated at macro level on the basis of macro level data can only result in ineffective programme planning and implementation. Such policies and programmes bereft of the micro realities only end up with an addition in the list of minorities' specific programmes, most of them are tokenism, of the government.
