U knows the expenditure of bangles and nail paints only, because you are such a useless fellow posted in the moderator's level. Dirty bull, is in the group of prestigious group of Indian Muslims. Useless fellow.

Ayub Khan Saheb & all,

ASAK,

Thanks for providing a more appropriate picture on Indian Muslims' spending/ economic conditions. It makes more sense.
I am sure a more detailed and independent study by others can provide more information on how Muslims across the
entire India are performing and living economically.

Arjun Sengupta Report is considered a required reading for anyone who wants to know the socio-economic status of Indians
including its Muslim community.

Now in the light of Kashif's and your postings, we should get engaged into a meaningful discussion on this most important subject
matter.

Thanks and regards.

wa-as-salam,

Razi

ASAK All,

The confusion regarding the expenditure is likely due to the interpretation of statistics which are always very complicated and not very clear. I am attaching the Arjun Sengupta Report on Conditions of Work and Promotion of Livelihoods in the Unorganized Sector. It uses the NSS 61st Round 2004-2005 and Employment-Unemployment Survey.

From this I have been able to deduce the following:

a. 84.5% of Indian Muslim Households do not spend not more than Rs. 609 per month or about Rs.20 per month.
b. 13.3% of Indian Muslim Households spend about Rs.1098 per month or Rs. 37 per day.
c. 2.2% of Indian Muslim Households are regarded as high category and spends Rs. 2776 per month or Rs. 93 per day.

I think these figures appear low if we confuse the wages/salaries with the per capita household expenditure. However, when we differentiate the two they get more meaningful.

The official definition DCPE used in these reports is defined by the World Bank as follows:
"The World Bank defines the extreme poverty line in low-income countries as roughly equivalent to $1 in daily per capita household expenditures (DPCE) adjusted for purchasing power parities (PPPs) and the poverty line in low-income countries as roughly $2 DPCE."

wassalaam,
Ayub Khan

data is based on National Sample Survey of 2004-5.
