The report by the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP) ‘Development of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh—released on January 9, paints a picture of the disempowerment of the Muslim community in the state.  

UTTAR PRADESH: As Uttar Pradesh is going to polls next month, a new report has revealed that Muslims of the most populous state of India lag far behind on many socio-religious categories (SRCs) such as “education, economy, employment, housing, landholding, access to credit and other development indicators.”

The report by the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP) ‘Development of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh—released on January 9, paints a picture of the disempowerment of the Muslim community in the state.  

Muslims constitute 19.26 per cent of the total population in Uttar Pradesh against 14.23 per cent of the Muslim population in the country.  

The CDPP report states that “the relative socio-economic conditions of the Muslims are generally known to be inferior to that of Hindus.” 

“They suffer from various kinds of deprivations in the state,” the report notes. 

This report covers wide areas that affect Muslim public life, livelihoods, educational progress, economic mobilities, and factors that generate and add to further inequalities and it also suggested policy measures to overcome the issues.

Muslims are landless as compared to Hindus

The report notes that the members of the Muslim community are landless as compared to Hindus in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

According to the report findings, 48.05% of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh were landless compared to Hindus who are less than 25.83%. “Compared to 59.47% Hindus about 83.4% of Muslims owned land below 1 acre, on the other end, 0.80% of Muslims own 7.5-10 acres of land, whereas over 1.87% Hindus own more than 10 acres of land,” the report states.
