Just completed directing a major research programme on behalf of the Indian Prime Minister to assess and prepare a status report on Social, Economic and Educational Conditions of the Indian Muslims. The report is based on data analysis of many sources including the NSSO, the Census, data supplied by the state governments, public sector industries, reserve bank of India and the private sector. Qualitative data collected through state visits has an added dimension to the report. The report was formally handed over to the Prime Minister of India on November 17, 2006; and the report is now in print.
