Muslims are the largest among the religious minorities in India. Various commission reports and studies reveal that Muslims are less privileged in the field of literacy and education, industrial promotion, health sector and economic pursuits. Though the government of India has taken up many initiatives to improve upon the issues relating to the social, economic and political status of India's Muslim minority, the ground realities differ. The present book is an attempt to evaluate these initiatives and highlight the issues hampering the growth and development of Muslim minority in Punjab and Haryana.
