Abstract

Studies have shown that at all-India level, the share of Muslims in public sector employment is extremely low in comparison to their share in population. This chapter shows that in Telangana as well Muslim representation is disproportionately low both in the public and private sector employments and their absence is conspicuous in some important government departments like education, planning, and welfare. Their absence is also conspicuous in higher levels of administration and state bureaucracy like the all-India services—Indian Administration Service, Indian Police Service, and Indian Forest Service.
