reasons for poverty of muslims in india?

This is a very complex question that you would have to research India's history to undersand.\n\nIndia has a long history of a wide gap of poverty between certain factions. Even today while they are experiencing great economic growth, there is severe poverty within the muslims sections of the society. \n\nEven the Hindu section sees this, my grandmother is Hindu and from India. It seems to me that India has a big problem of religious discrimination.

Basically, way back in the day, pakistan and india were the same country.  Due to rising religious hostility in India, and a high muslim population in the area that is now Pakistan, that area of Inida defected as a seperate muslim state.  As a result many if not most of the muslims in India moved to Pakistan, and many if not most of the Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, etc. left Pakistan.

The reservation system is based on caste ...... proving india is biased towardst eh caste system .... it should be the survival of the fittest ... raise taxes and open charitable schools for the lower castes if the need be but at least give the bright people a chance ........ the present situation gives the dumbest a chance while the average is turned into a dumb person .........\n\nits pathetic

Just because they are extremist about their religion and their religion teaches them to fight. So, they are fighting with every other religion people. - in Indian subcontinent, they fight with Hindus, Sikhs, and other religious people and of-course rest part, they fight with jues and Christians.\n\nAnd they know that they dont have power to win any battle by fighting directly. so by terrorism, they feel some what good that they killed some other religion people. \n\nsometime i think what if the middle east wouldn't have oil - then what would be their income ?? \nLake of education, lot of wife/children, oh.. there are hell lot of reasons ..\nAnyways, i accept that there may be some good people also. but there is one TRUTH.\n\n"EVERY MUSLIM IS NOT TERRORIST BUT ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIM"\nTHIS IS TRUTH OF THE WORLD AND PEOPLE SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT.

I do not have a source other than friends and teachers from India.  What inhibits India from becoming a powerhouse of economy and politics is the caste system.  They have the most horrible racisim of any country, and it is internal. \n\nSocially, you can NOT rise above your station.  This inhibits the real freedom they could enjoy.  I would do more studying of the caste system to get a better answer than mine.\n\nI do hope they overcome this thousands year old tradition and bigotry.

Racism is closely associated with poverty which is one of the main factors involving crime..\n\nSlavery is the child of Racism.  When slavery was abolished by Lincoln, blacks were free but could rarely find jobs due to white people pitching a biatch or threatening to boycott. So these black people were forced into slums which is our present day ghettos/projects.  With no money and many of the men not present in the home due to lynchings and whatnot, poverty thrived in the female-fronted household.  Lack of education and skills, along with opportunity, created a phenomenon of generational poverty in which several generations of black families were poor.  \n\nLiving in poverty created hopelessness.  People without hope have no stake in the future and live for the present.  They struggle just to pay the rent, put food on the table and live.  Illegal activities such as drug traffiking, prostitution and gangs give these people quick money to take care of their families and they end up becoming numb to the destruction it causes.  \n\nThis is how, ultimately, racism is a direct cause of crime. Not all crimes, but crimes in the inner cities and predominately minority inhabited areas, or areas where people live at or below the poverty level.

First Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam or any religion No Popular Religion Teachs harming another living being..........\nOn a differnet note India is the only country in the world where the Govt cares about the sentiments of the minority and is busy pleasing the minority community insterd of standing with the majority population.

God has prepared a banquet for his faithful, yet many stand outside the door claiming that they won't enter because they don't like the host, or can't believe there is a host, or think that the host is cruel, etc.\n\nSo, the greatest poverty is poverty of the spirit, through one's own choosing.

Did you even TRY to research this online?  Go to your local library, where the librarians are trained and eager to help kids like you research your homework.  Your question would take too long to answer here anyway.\n\nHere's a bone - Indonesia has the most muslims, India the second-most.  Go forth and research the rest.\n\nBy the way, jman is an idiot.

Hey! Its not really a question of 'needing' or 'not needing'. \nIndia is a democratic country, so you can form a political party irrespective of your religious affiliations. Nearly every political party has either some religious affiliation, or targets a particular vote- bank (eg- BSP targets the 'so called' lower castes, the Muslim League claims to be the representative of all Indian Muslims)\n\n But I too think its a pity that even today, religion plays a very important role in elections. Our people should look at more relevant issues.\n\nStill, I'd like to add,that according to  the Representation of People's Act 1951 by Parliament, members of the legislative assembly & legislative council can be disqualified if it is found that they have used communal or religious sentiments to win favour with the people.

India is one of the worst nations on earth because of the discriminating "caste system" which is still adhered to by indians - your constitution is only worth the paper it's wriiten on. your leaders, politicians and authorities do not have the political will to enforce anything that does not make money. Your system of democracy stinks - it does not work for the good of the indian people.

Ummm, probably because I'm not Muslim.\n\nI'm a Christian!\n\nYep, that would be the reason.

could be that the more people earn or own the less faith they have in their own religion so the poor need something to have more faith in and "pray" that a religious experience for their children could be enlightening enough to help them not be as poor of their parent :0S

You have answered your own question.\n\nIts a nice refreshing attitude to see somebody who isnt ignorant of the plight of those impoverished souls who have to leave their homeland.

Cause: Mexican government corruption keeping people poor while they live like fat cats, Mexicans see opportunity for better wage and ability to support families, Big money corporations exploiting people on both sides,  Federal government lax in enforcing immigration and customs laws,\n \nEffect: driving down wages and creating a larger separation between rich and poor. Racism and fear on the rise, lack of faith in the government, despair, poverty, hunger and resentment.

Well, a few starting points - 1) random acts of charity convince people that the world is a good place (and accents what we have in common, not our differences), which may decrease the resentment and aggression that leads people to warlike behaviour (so peace). 2) taking people out of the cycle of poverty helps the whole community because poor people are empowered to buy goods and services. The more ofthen money changes hands, the richer everone gets (so prosperity).

Actually never thought of it...Still u can consider the following points :\n\n1)People from rural areas sell lots of Cows/Goats during this event. Many of them take a year long plan and preparations keeping in mind the Eid sells. So, a good boost for them.\n\n2)Huge amount of leather from animals are collected that time. Leather industries benefit the most I think.\n\n3)Share of animal meat as well as earnings from leather are distributed among poor people. Mosques and Madrasas are also given away fair financial assistances. \n\n......
