Caste Survey: A big truth came to light about Muslims too
Famous urdu poet Allama Iqbal had sent a message across the world through his poetry that all the followers of
Islam are equal and there is no difference of any kind among them. The meaning of this poetry is that when
Emperor Mahmood Ghaznavi and his slave Ayaz Malik stand up to offer Namaz, they are together. In such a
situation, there is also a myth that there is no caste and no discrimination in Muslim society. The caste survey
data released on october 2 in bihar has completely rejected the myth of casteless society among Muslims. In
fact, the people of the Muslim community who participated in the census have also declared their caste, which
shows that like the Hindus, the Muslim society is also divided into castes.
According to the caste survey, there are about 17.70 percent Muslims in Bihar. Among these, the number of
Sheikhs is highest among the general category Muslims, while Ansari is at the top position in the Pasmanda
category.
