Muslims second largest community in Karnataka after Dalits!

muslims Bengaluru, Apr 12: The politically weak Muslim community is in fact the second largest group in Karnataka after Dalits, according to a leaked data of a recent caste survey, which finally busted myth of Lingayat and Vokkaliga clout in the state.

As per the fresh survey report, Dalits are the largest group in Karnataka constituting 24% (1.08 crore) of the state's 6 crore population.

The report revealed that Muslims constitute 12.5% of the state's population. Till now it was widely believed that politically dominant Lingayats and Vokkaligas formed the second and third largest groups in the south Indian state.

In fact Lingayats are 9.83% and Vokkaligas 8.16% of the total numbers. So far, it was assumed that Lingayats constituted 17% and Vokkaligas 12% of the population.

The Kuruba community, to which the chief minister Siddaramaiah belongs, accounts for 7.5% of the state's population.

The official report of Karnataka Backward Classes Commission, which compiled the state's first socioeconomic and education survey in independent India is expected to be made public in May this year. The caste survey was undertaken in April 2015.

@Thinker, Of course we(Muslims) are 'minority', but far enough to face 'majority' in the election. As the majority are split according into many caste.

Time is no far to unite the Muslims in 1 platform to gain the ultimate political power and i

MA SHA ALLAH Proud to be a MUSLIM! Many more people are there to revert In Sha Allah.. Its Allah who is helping us..

If you notice the statistics, all these communities belong to Hinduism and further these communities are treated as separate or individuals. The culture including worships are also different.

Where as Muslims have though different languages, they are considered as single community because of single method of worship where singular God is their one and only God.

Surprisingly because of this fact, their share is increasing due to attraction to people of other communities. There is no worry in the end, because gradually everyone will know the truth and everyone will belong to the same (that) community, so no difference and no communal hatred at the end.

\ It is HE who has sent the Messenger with Guidance and the religion of Truth, to manifest it Over ALL RELIGIONS, how much ever the unbeliever might not like it ....\" (Qur'an - Ch 9:33)"

Thinker Hell.....
Come out of hell..So called bramins are less in number but ruling all hindus in the name of God. And what else you want???

Beware dear..chaddeezz....

However the MEDIA malign MUSLIM with false images.... Muslims around the world are increasing and it will increase rapid in the coming Years In Shaa ALLAH. The irony is that Many people understood the MEDIA conspiracy did by the IT professional by Cheddi deceivers. Many people learnt more about ISLAM and the reality and the Fact. Muslims are growing not in their own but also many non muslims are converting to ISLAM by learning & getting knowledge of the CREATOR who created us... Those who worship the creator are successful. Those who worship the created things are need to learn who is our CREATOR who CREATED all that exists.

Frankly speaking I trust this portal (i.e. Coastal Digest) right from the beginning only because it published fact news to convey the readers.

Today when I read the above news I am really surprised to know the facts with figures. Even a common man can understand the political power of each community.

Though we (Muslims) constitute a huge number (75 Lac), Very sad know our M.L.A's are just 11 in number which is equal to nothing. Our community is very much backward in political power.

Currently 'Power of Powers' in one and only i.e. \ POLITICAL POWER\". Let all of us think and act for the uplift of the community & our fellow kannadigas by choose a existing political party in fray."

In sha allah soon it will come to No 1 Place

please convey this messege to other media, they have lack of knowledge in getting news
