I am an educated Muslim, falling under this 2.75 per cent of the statistic. I got my education despite the economic limitations growing up. Today, despite having a good job and a good education, I am explicitly denied a house in Delhi for the last 2 months citing my religion.
Only 2.75 per cent of the total Muslim population in India is graduate or above this level of education.
Muslims in India have the highest rate of illiteracy at 43 per cent.
The most urgent revolution we need is education.

Most urgent need is to start viewing Muslims as human beings and not box us into your "categories". The urgent need is for people to acknowledge the daily discrimination & not make us feel like second class citizens in our own country. I pay my taxes and deserve the same rights.

What do you call a child born to a Hindu mother and a Muslim father? A person born respecting both religions.
I am the result of an inter-faith marriage.
I know such marriages work, they need only one ingredient to thrive - Love. My parents are proof.

I have never slept hungry so there is no world hunger. I don't sweat a lot, so there is no global warming. I have not been killed, how can there be murders. I live in my own wonderland.
All I have experienced is unlimited hospitality, warmth and genuine love. No one has tried to molest or abuse. Yes, there has been staring and occasional cases of cheating and overcharging but then I have had my wallet stolen in Madrid, and I have been groped in a Paris tube.
