Better Understanding of Muslim Minorities in the World
By
Abrar Ahmad Islahi
Our contemporary world has a human population of more than 7 billion. The global population of Muslims is estimated to
be more than 20
billion which is nearly 30%
of the world population.
The total number of countries in the world is 197 including 193 countries which are members of the United Nations (UN). The non-member countries of the UN are the Vatican City, Taiwan, Kosovo and the State of Palestine. The number of predominantly Muslim countries which are the members of the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Cooperation) is 57.
In remaining 138 countries, the number of Muslims varies from a substantial number of less than 50% to a nominal count of one or two per cent and they are considered to be minority communities in these countries, however, the population of Muslims living in these 138 countries is one-third
(1/3)
of total Muslim population in the world.

In most of the OIC member countries, Muslim representation is overwhelming in the government ministries, civil services, armed forces, security agencies, public and private sectors. NGOs and other civil society organizations also are run mostly by Muslims.
In the countries where Muslims are minority, they often face religious, educational, social, cultural, economic and political challenges. In many countries, they complain about unfavorable circumstances and conditions that do not help them avail of opportunities and facilities which are available to other fellow citizens of these countries. In other countries like Myanmar (Burma), Muslim minorities are faced with discrimination and deprivation in many areas of human life.
As earlier mentioned, the Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries have many religious, educational, social, cultural, economic and political issues, however, they face two main challenges:
1) How to preserve their religious and cultural identity;
2) How to play an effective role in their countries in a way that they are not considered to be lagging behind other fellow citizens of these countries.

Muslims were at the bottom in rural areas, with an average monthly per capita expenditure of Rs 833, followed by Hindus at Rs 888, Christians at Rs 1,296 and Sikhs 1,498.
NEW DELHI: Among various religious groups, Muslims have the lowest living standard with the average per capita expenditure of just Rs 32.66 in a day, says a government survey.
At the other end of the spectrum, Sikh community enjoys a much better lifestyle as the average per capita spending among them is Rs 55.30 per day, while the same for Hindus is Rs 37.50. For Christians it is Rs 51.43.
"At all-India level, the average monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) of a Sikh household was Rs 1,659 while that for a Muslim household was Rs 980 in 2009-10," said an NSSO study titled 'Employment and Unemployment Situation Among Major Religious Groups in India'.
The average household MPCE is a proxy for income and reflects that living standards of a family.
According to the study, the average MPCE for Hindus and Christians were Rs 1,125 and Rs 1,543, respectively.
The survey said that average monthly per capita consumption at all-India level was Rs 901 in villages and Rs 1,773 in cities. Overall, the average MPCE was Rs 1,128.
Muslims were at the bottom in rural areas, with an average MPCE of Rs 833, followed by Hindus at Rs 888, Christians at Rs 1,296 and Sikhs 1,498.
In urban areas, Muslims' average MPCE was also the lowest at Rs 1,272 followed by Hindus at Rs 1,797, Christians Rs 2,053 and Sikhs at Rs 2,180.
