However, today's status of Muslims here is miserable. According to a study conducted , out of the 18 crore Muslims in India, 10.6 crore Muslims live in Slums, he added.

The study also finds that 74.5% of Muslims live in North India and 25.5% in South India. The economic and social conditions of the Muslims of South India are better than Muslims in Northern India. The reason for this is that the Muslims in South India are advanced in education, he elaborated.

According to the Indian Muslim population ratio, 3 percent of Muslims are in IAS and IPS, 4.5 percent in Railways, 6 percent in Police Department. While 20.9 percent of population in prison and 25 percent of beggars are Muslims.
