This paper provides a comprehensive review of 25 scholarly articles that explore the socio-political, educational, and economic challenges faced by the Muslim community in India. The review synthesizes key findings across these studies, highlighting the systemic barriers to political participation, educational disadvantages, economic marginalization, and social exclusion experienced by Muslims in India. Through a comparative analysis, the paper identifies recurring themes, methodological approaches, and the implications of these findings for policy and practice. The study emphasizes the need for holistic strategies that integrate political, educational, and economic interventions to address the deep-rooted issues of marginalization and exclusion faced by the Muslim community. The paper also includes a bibliometric analysis of research trends, illustrating the increasing academic interest in this critical area of study. The findings suggest that targeted policies and comprehensive educational reforms are essential for improving the socio-economic and political status of Muslims in India.
