The Rajinder Sachar Committee, appointed in 2005 by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, was commissioned to prepare a report on the latest social, economic and educational conditions of the Muslim community of India. The committee was headed by former Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court Rajinder Sachar, as well as six other members. The committee prepared a report of 403 pages, and presented in the lower house (Lok Sabha) of the Indian Parliament on 30 November 2006 (20 months after obtaining the terms of reference from the PMO).〔(Clarification On the Work of Justice Rajindar Sachar Committee )〕 The committee had highlighted and presented its suggestions and solutions to remove impediments preventing Indian Muslims from their right to complete participation in the economic, political and social mainstream of Indian life. The report is the first of its kind to reveal the "backwardness" (a term used in Indian academic and legal discourse for historically dispossessed or economically vulnerable communities, not meant to be pejorative) of Indian Muslims. According to the Sachar Committee report, some of the major concerns are: *The status of Indian Muslims are below the conditions of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. *The overall percentage of Muslims in bureaucracy in India is just 2.5% whereas Muslims constitute above 14% of the population of India.〔http://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/news/muslims-share-2-5-in-bureaucracy-says-sachar-committee-member/91409.html〕 To ensure equity and equality of opportunities to Indian Muslims in the residential, work and educational sectors, the Committee proposed multiple suggestions to be implemented, with suitable mechanisms.〔B. N. Gururaj (Impressive analysis ), Letter to editor, ''The Hindu'', 7 January 2007.〕 There were many issues of discussion and debate raised by the Sachar Committee Report that persist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Seminar On Sachar Committee Report in Hyderabad )〕 There are follow-up actions taken based on Committee findings, such as then-Finance Minister P.
