Dear Dr Pipes, Thanks for posting the summary of the government of India (GOI) report on the backwardness of Muslims in India. If you drive through Indian villages and small towns, you will find that a large number of women in black Iranian style burkhas. You will find the non-Muslim counterparts of these women dressed conservatively but normally otherwise. I ask people of the world a simple question: which kind of women is more likely to produce smart educated and confident kids?

Muslims are lagging behind others in India. In part, they are themselves to blame.
