This is the list of Muslim Canditates who have passed with flying colours in the written part of Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2008 held by the Union Public Service Commission in October-November, 2008 and the interviews for Personality Test held in March-April, 2009, and who have been recommended for appointment to Indian Administrative Service, Indian Foreign Service, Indian Police Service and Central Services, Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’.
First of all let me congratulate them.

Hats off to Sister Sufiyah Farooqui who stands first among the successful canditates. All other thirty one brothers and a sister deserve congratulations.

Next, the details. The total number of canditates passed this year is 792. The total number of Muslim canditates is 32. ie 4.04%

The percentage of successful Muslim canditates continues to be around 3 to 5 % for the past 20 years.

Whenever the UPSC results are announced I analyse and scan the list to find out the Muslim names. I have been doing it for the past sixteen years. It never reached the three digits. It never reached fifty. I always end up frustrated, disappointed and disheartened.

Questions, piercing, penetrating, intimidating questions boggle my mind. They rob my peace of mind. To be honest, I cannot find answers. Now I want to share them with you. Whether it will rob your peace of mind or not, I don't care. I want to relieve them. I would be happy if some of you could answer them.

The questions are as follows:

  • What is the reason behind this stale performence?
  • Why is this pathetic, insipid and faded performence repeated year after year?
  • Who is responsible for this lacuna?
  • What are the shortcomings?
  • What are the deficiencies?
  • Don't we have enough graduates?
  • Do our youth lack ambition?
  • Who prevents them? Who debars them? Nobody.
  • Then what bothers them? What is the remedy?
  • Where lies the solution?
  • If our youth are not aware of UPSC, whose responsibility is it anyway, to guide, counsel and motivate them?
  • What is the role of SIO and Tahreek in this context? Where do they stand?

To your question of why we end up with 3~5% successful Muslims candidates, the answer has two dimensions to it. Of course, the average Muslim of India is poorer than average Indian and that lays the foundation for Muslim % in IAS to be less than the overall Muslim population % (which could be anything from 15% to 25%).

Now coming to the second step. Each mark in UPSC exam is very important, and even if somebody gets very good marks in written (out of 2,000), the next 300 marks are decided by interview. These 300 marks are so important that even if somebody has topped in the written part of the exam, a poor show in interview can throw him out of the final consideration. So in effect, the interview board has sort of a "kill switch" in their hand. And it is my belief that they use the interview to keep the % of incoming Muslims stable at less than 5%. However, it is also my opinion that in case the board becomes impartial, the % of Muslim candidates would not jump to 20%. But could be significantly higher than 3~4%.
