Muslims on the Margin: A Study of Muslims OBCs in West Bengal
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Muslim is substantial minority and second religious group in the state of West Bengal. They are inherently disadvantageous and marginal in all indicators of social living since long period of time. This has become a challenging issue of discussion and debate not only in the academic circle but also to the community itself. Though there is paucity of literatures and data on the Muslim community of West Bengal, it is an attempt to explore the marginal condition of Muslims of West Bengal, and to analyse the role of OBCs’ reservation and the status of Muslim in West Bengal. In the present paper, data have been collected from various secondary sources like Published journals, various committee reports, and news reports. Major findings are socioeconomic condition, backwardness of Muslims, religious politics, and reservation for Muslims OBCs and the marginal condition of Muslims in West Bengal.
