Muslim Yateem khana in Pune City
As it is known fact in India, that
Orphanages of Muslim Community are very rarely well maintained and very few
people from the community are taking interest in taking care of this
Orphanages.
1. There is no fixed and proper source
of incomes for these orphanages. These institutes are also not funded by the
Indian Government. Expenses are curtailed for want of sufficient
fund. Some of Orphanages in Pune do not
have website for public. It is expected
that website of such muslim Orphanages should display all details including the
following on their website:
a) IFSC code / Bank details for
donations.
b) Basic functionality and Social-
economics works carried out and other activities.
c) List / Details of children in the
Orphanage.
d) Monthly/ Annual Donations received
along with Expdr.
e) Executive Board Members / Directors.
f) Information about how they are
arranging day to day basic needs of these children of orphanage
2. The Sachar Panel Report states that
the Muslims are behind even the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in
socio-economic development.
Backwardness in Muslim Community in our country is mostly due to lack of proper education and Employment. Even education of most of muslim community has been limited to their religious teachings, beliefs and customs. Most of the Islamic scholar or muslim preacher are quoting in their lectures to study Islamic literature and not science / technology. They always teach importance of Islam but never teach importance of education as science and technology. If 8 years old boy /girl could by heart a full book of Quran (Holy book) then he/she can easily qualify any IIT or medical exam. So, Half the task will be fulfilled if we can pull the Muslims who are forced to complete their religious education, to also academic education. Muslim community should realize that academic education is also as much important as religious education. On the same line, the children in the orphanages are taught only religious books, due to lack of sufficient fund.

Even
if Children in the Orphanage are interested in having a good academic education, they are rarely allowed for want of
sufficient fund. They are being given a
religious education, as it is freely available with them, while they are
deprived of academic education, resulting in not capable of standing in the competitive
world of the society. It is heard that
most of the people in the society are interested in spending on theses children’s
education or taking over responsibility of monthly expenditure on their school
education or higher studies at overseas.
Even most of the people in the society are interested in assisting these
children in the orphanage for seeking Education loan or business loan from
Banks or seeking Education loan for higher studies costing more than 30
lac.
3. There is no interaction
between such orphanage with outside society community members, who are keen in
transferring fund or donating certain sum of money monthly. Many society community members are also
interested in giving a necessary career guidance to the children in such Orphanage,
but nobody is interested in inviting them for doing this job.
4. Even I have seen that people are
ready to hand over their Used Cloths, Table, Chairs, PC & Printers, Kitchen
utensils, Books, Study materials and other household items, to such orphanage,
but there is no arrangement of inviting such request.
5. Supreme Court rejected the petition
that the right to adopt a child - till now restricted to Hindus, Buddhists and
Jains - now extends to Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis and all other
communities.
6. There are internal clashes between
Sunnis and Shiyas for –
7. Comparative fertility and mortality
rates are presented for various religious communities to explain the
differential growth of the Muslim population. The relative backwardness of the
Muslim community, and particularly of Muslim women, is noted as a factor in the
comparatively high fertility rates observed among the Muslim population. The
paper also reviews the contribution of Muslims to the politics, arts and
culture of India, and then goes on to examine the problem of communalism and
communal violence that has characterized the Indian political scene. The paper
concludes with arguments in favour of ensuring justice and human rights for
Muslims, emphasizing the importance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
and the positive role they could play in enhancing the condition of the Muslim
community in India.

Politics on Indian muslims:
Certain civil matters of jurisdiction
for Muslims such as marriage, inheritance and waqf properties are governed by
the Muslim Personal Law, which was developed during British rule and
subsequently became part of independent India with some amendments. Lack of
knowledge especially by some western writers tend to conflate Indian Muslim
Personal Law with Sharia Law. Indian Muslims have rejected for any calls of
sharia law in India. Indian Muslim
personal law is not developed as a Sharia Law but as an interpretation of
existing Muslim laws as part of Common Law. The Supreme Court of India has
ruled that Sharia or Muslim law holds precedence for Muslims over Indian civil
law in such matters.
