Volume : II, Issue : X, November - 2012 SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION OF NEPALESE AND INDIAN MUSLIMS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY PASANG SHERPA DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Socio-economic condition is an important indicator to measure the
development level of any community and a nation as well. This paper compares the
socio-economic condition of Nepalese and Indian Muslims. Muslims are one of the
highly disadvantaged, marginalized and excluded minority groups with distinct
religious and cultural identities both in Nepal and India. They have been excluded in
terms of social, economic, educational and political institutions as well as other
decision-making levels of the state. Historically, they have been ignored by the state and
excluded from the mainstream development processes due to their origin, religious
minority status and territorial/regional identities in both countries of Nepal and India. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : PASANG SHERPA, (2012).
