About the Seminar:
Although Tripura is the focus state, the
scope of the Seminar is wider as the
lessons learnt from other states or
comparative studies would be able to
provide further insights into the
development dynamics of the Muslim
community in the country. The
Seminar, therefore, also solicits
papers/views based on other states or
all India focus. Muslim community
continues to lag behind other socioreligious categories in socio-economic
and educational development. The
situation of the community is appalling
with regard to income, employment in
public sector, educational attainment,
access to healthcare and other
infrastructures
etc.
Identity
stereotyping, communal violence,
ghettoisation etc. are other major issues
which the community faces. Among
others, the deprivation of community
has been a result of their exclusion
from important spheres of socioeconomic decision making, lack of
political empowerment, discrimination,
frequent occurrence of communal
violence etc.
According to the Census of India 2001,
about 8 per cent populations of Tripura
are Islam in religion. As mentioned
above, this segment of population is
socio-economically deprived (in terms
of educational attainments, health,
housing etc.) as compared to other
religious groups, and in some
geographic areas and sector they even
lag behind Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes in the development.
Their employment pattern is highly
skewed towards lower level activities
in the tertiary sector with hardly any
occupational mobility.
