The Sachhar Committee Report is a new and distinct addition in the list of collecting data on the backwardness of the Muslims in India. It is important to note that it was set up by the prime Minister of India as a ‘High Level Committee’ for preparing the report on social, economic and educational status of the Muslim Community in India (vide notification No. 850/3/C/3/05-Pol.). When it was tabled in Parliament on 30 November 2006, there was no uproar in the Lower House except that the Bhartiya Janta Party opposed it. It was also commended by its allies like the Janata Dal (U), Trinamool Congress and others who are the partners of national Democratic Alliance. The media has also taken this report as a serious national debate to look into the maladies of backwardness of the Muslim community.
