This report is based on findings from a detailed interview schedule administered to 8,082 respondents from the Muslim community and 420 respondents from other socio-religious communities across 15 states in India. The aim of this study was to assess what difference, if any, has taken place in the socio-economic conditions of Muslims following the PM’s New 15-Point Programme and the recommendations of the Sachar Committee report. Our findings suggest that Muslims continue to be left out from most government schemes concerning food and nutrition, education, health, housing, jobs and livelihoods, civic amenities and infrastructure, among others aimed at socio-economics development. The study also documents instances of individuals, across states, who have been left out of such programmes in spite of being most marginalized and deserving. In sum, the report concludes that there has been complee failure in the implementation of the recommendations of the Sachar Committee report for the socio-economic inclusion of India’s largest minority, which continues to be haunted by the myth of appeasement.
