The educational profile of Indian Muslims is perhaps the clearest indicators of the overall backwardness of this community. Low rate of literacy compelled to engage in primary activities, mainly as marginal workers. Low work participation rate allow living in nasty unhygienic slum area in urban as well as in rural. The present paper attempts to analyze the socio – economic condition of Muslims of West Bengal and also to explore the correlates of socio – economic development. In this regard emphasis has been given to study education in particular. Most specifically, the state of Muslim education deals with attitude towards education, religious education, women education, problem of drop out and stagnation etc.
