ABSTRACT
The Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee submitted its report on 27 May 2011 and made 60 recommendations for the welfare of minorities, Dalits and backward classes. Few NGOs have also brought out some eye-opening reports on conditions of Muslims. All these reports have indicated poor condition and advocated major policy initiatives. Unfortunately, the findings and recommendation of these reports have been completely ignored by the respective governments and none of these have been implemented. A study report on socio-economic status of socio-religious communities (SRC) is a report of social, economic and educational condition of that SRC. Reports are many but findings are the same. Be it a central report, state report or private report, they tell the same story that socio-economic and educational conditions of Muslim are worse and governments need to take concrete steps to improve it. The Mehmood-ur-Rahman Committee report is an ideal report and other states can think of bringing similar reports.
