How are Muslims spread on India’s economic map? -Roshan Kishore

Divergences in social background of Muslims across regions might hold the key to the difference in their economic status

Earlier this year, when religion-wise population data from Census 2011 was released, there was a lot of attention on the growth rate of the Muslim population. But few commentators looked at how the Muslim population is spread on the economic map of India. Or to put it another way, few tried to see if there was any pattern between areas of economic well-being and Muslim concentration. This is important given the backwardness of Muslims as a community.

A casual glance would suggest there is a pattern. Look at the bottom five large states ranked by per capita gross state domestic product (GSDP). Of these, three—Assam, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar—are in top five states, ranked by the percentage share of Muslim population. The other two, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh, are among the top five large states by the percentage share of tribal population.
