~However, it is a fact that in India certain powerful sections of the followers of that very Islam that preaches the doctrines of equality of man and brotherhood of all Muslims, owing to their utter selfishness and love of power and domination and for their own interests, cast the laws of Islam to forewinds and, though themselves in a minority, turned a vast majority of their co-religionists carrying on various occupations in this country into low and backward communities, having denied them all facilities of receiving education and shut out to them all the benefits and amenities of good social life. At that time, however, these occupational classes did not care much for these social humiliations and disabilities but kept themselves engaged in their various professional pursuits. The result of all this is that today out of nine crore of Muslims in India over eight crore are socially fallen and degraded having been classified among the low castes. They have been systematically exploited by the upper class Muslims who had even been demanding and obtaining special privileges from the Government of the day on behalf of these very eight crore low, poor and backward Muslims but have always usurped what they got to enjoy only themselves~
