A major nationwide campaign to improve the socio-economic conditions of Indian Muslims in line with the recommendations made by the Sachar Committee will be launched in India on March 11, 2007. This fortnight-long campaign in the form of an “All India Caravan-e-Insaf (AICI)” (March for equality and justice) will pass through thousands of cities, towns and villages including 24 prime cities across India. “The caravan will seek to ensure equal participation of Muslims in the mainstream Indian society with more opportunities and added incentives to uplift them socially, educationally and economically,” said Amanullah Khan, AICI’s chief organiser. The AICI is being organised by “Uttar Pradesh Rabita Committee”, which is headed by Amanullah himself.
Amanullah said that the caravan, which would be led by Saiyid Hamid, chancellor of Hamdard University, would “seek to generate a countrywide awareness among Muslims regarding their pathetic conditions as exposed by Sachar Committee report.” The AICI will be flagged off from Delhi and will convene public meetings en route, in different cities across India including Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.
