Independence
A Regional Perspective

Muslims during the last 50 years have been seeking place in the mainstream of the national life. However, there has been perceptible difference between the pace of economic, social and educational development of Muslims and majority community.

While celebrating the 50th anniversary of our independence, serious introspection is needed to understand the place of Muslims in the national scenario .This volume is aimed at providing insight into some of the important issues raised from time to time. Space is a point in reference in any geographical study particularly ,over which the phenomena vary.

On the very outset, the editorial committee identified the themes of the study and requested about 80 persons to contribute on any of the theme indicated. As is evident 16 papers were contributed for the volume. The volume have been divided into four sections according to the themes of the paper, (i) Population profile (ii) Social parameters (iii) Economic parameters, and (iv) Environmental parameters

Contents: Introduction: Section I: Population Profile. Section II: Social Parameters. Section III: Economic Parameters. Section IV: Environmental Parameters.
