“…In addition, the GAR for other communities was higher than for the aforementioned groups. Muslims have the greatest percentage of people aged three to thirty-five who have never attended a formal educational institution or course ; (Parvez & Hasan, 2015).…”

This study investigates the socioeconomic and political standing of the Muslim population in India. The scope of this inquiry has been restricted to particularly examine three areas: education, employment, and political representation. The presence of a different array of criteria can be ascribed to the analysis of the presented scenario for each of the groups. Darin-Mattsson, Fors, and Kåreholt (2017) have noted that several strategies have been employed to operationalize the idea of socioeconomic status. Among these ways, education, social class, and income have emerged as the primary indicators. Therefore, this paper examines the circumstances of Muslims based on the specified criteria mentioned in line three. It concludes that Muslims are encountering significant challenges in all of these areas, and the government appears to be disinterested in their plight. Instead, it appears that their marginalisation and confinement to specific areas is rising, and they are viewed as troublesome and suspicious in society.

“…The proportional underrepresentation of Muslims in government departments across all states is evident. The representation of Muslim in the police constable sector is only 6%, whereas in the health sector it is 4.4%, and in the transport sector it is 6.5% (Khan S. , 2020); (Parvez & Hasan, 2015).…”

RETRACTED: Protecting the Rights of Minorities under International Law and Implications of COVID-19: An Overview of the Indian Context

The concept of majority rule and respect for minority rights is demonstrated in several constitutions of the world. Oppression by the majority of the minority is barred by articles of these respective constitutions. Today, democracy is mostly a method of government of the people that is ruled by the people. The issue of minority rights is at the center of the concept of civic rights. Minority protection, thus, operates on the hypothesis that religious, cultural, and linguistic affiliations are essential features of the very notion of a civic, just society. This paper offers an alternative account of why minority rights have international significance and more information on the value of an international, socially just process for the allocation of resources by states. By this approach, international minority rights speak to the wrongs that international law itself produces by organizing international political reality into a legal order. This article focuses on the uncertain effect of religious autonomy in India and the outcome of democracy in the country. While the Indian constitution guarantees autonomy to its religious minorities and promises minorities their freedoms, Indian democracy, which was once considered remarkable in scale and duration, has been weakened by the rise of xenophobic nationalism and threats to religious minorities. Even the safety and religious freedom of minorities have been compromised during COVID-19. In the last few decades, these trends have been clear; however, they have dramatically increased in the last few years, and the administration has turned a blind eye.

The present study examined the socioeconomic and political status of the Indian and Chinese populations residing in Malaysia. The focus of this investigation has been limited to specifically analyse three domains: education, employment, and political representation. The variation in criteria employed for analysing the given circumstance might be attributed to the distinct perspectives of each group. According to Darin-Mattsson, Fors, and Kåreholt (2017), various approaches have been utilised to operationalize the concept of socioeconomic position. Education, social class, and income have been identified as the key determinants among these several factors. Hence, this study investigates the conditions of Indian and Chinese communities, taking into consideration the specific criteria outlined earlier. The analysis suggests that the Indian and Chinese groups are engaged in a situation of competition with the Malay majority. The Chinese community exhibits a significant presence and prominence in the realm of commerce and wealth accumulation, surpassing that of the Malay and Indian groups. The Indian community exhibits a higher prevalence of poverty in comparison to the Chinese community. Nevertheless, despite the implementation of the Malay reservation policy, both communities have demonstrated commendable progress in the areas of education, employment, and political engagement. Additionally, the government has shown a proactive approach in addressing the challenges and disadvantages faced by these communities.
