Besides making other points, which are important but in this thread this point is relevant
**"**Today, globally Muslims have the lowest literacy rate. "

So its not only a problem among Indian muslims, its a Global problem. You would agree that if you are not educated you are less likely to be employed. You are less likely to get a bettter job than an educated lot and you are less likely to earn more.

First of all, until the author of that article comes up with some sort of statistical analysis to prove that information, I’m not buying it.

Secondly, if what you claim is true, then Muslims should have no problem being proportionally represented in a state like Kerala, where literacy is 90-100% for all communities. And yet, as I pointed out above, even in Kerala, Muslims are not properly represented…they make up 20% of the population and hold 10% of government jobs.

Third, access to educational facilities plays a huge role in developing literacy. If your government doesnt see it fit to build enough schools in poor Muslim areas, and provide whatever schools there are with adequate funds (which is a documented problem), then that is indeed the government’s fault.

Fourth, literacy plays no role other things I’ve mentioned…like access to credit, and subsidized food grains for the rural poor. And yet illiterate Muslim villagers lag behind their illiterate Hindu counterparts even in these very basic fields.

And finally…why do even educated/wealthy Muslims face so much discrimination in India? Why can the Muslim Bollywood stars that you adore so much purchase apartments in nice neighborhoods in Mumbai? Is it because theyre illiterate too?
