Muslims in West Bengal

A recent study by BBC Bengali Service revealed the sorry state of affairs of Muslims in the left -uled West Bengal. With 26% population, Muslims are employed in 2.1% government services and 1.98% private services. Their representation in business and other gainful employment is even more negligible. Interesting to note that these ratios were slightly better during the Congress rule. Their fate took a continuous downward trend during the so called progressive rule of the CPM-led left coalition for whom Muslims voted en masse.
We the people of East Bengal (then East Pakistan) felt neglected as our share in jobs and businesses were disproportionate to our percentage of population in Pakistan.
Now we find that the Muslims in India are in an even worse situation. Political thinkers, sociologists and demographers may enlighten us in these matters.
