The movement for a separate Telangana state begins in 1968 and culminates in the results of the two elections of 2004 and 2009. In 2005, the national political parties supported the Telangana case and in late 2009 almost all state political parties and the Union Government accepted the proposition. Thereafter, as a result of agitation, a Committee was appointed to re-examine the issue and its report was published. This resulted in further controversy. The history of the Telangana movement may be seen as an unsuccessful exercise in integration of regions with different history, disparities in economic development, elites with varying capacities and conflicting goals. The common language has not been able to unite the two regions even after 54 years.

The findings do not substantiate the idea of fixed and firm Muslim household income/expenditure differences over time compared to the Hindu majority. On the other hand, they indicate that a relatively faster Muslim progress over the decade 1994-2004 has led to closing of the initial gap. This is especially heartening as it relates to the period of liberalisation and the transition to a market economy, which has disrupted many traditional patterns of rural livelihoods especially of artisans.

This paper attempts to compare the relative economic status of rural Hindu households with that of rural Muslim households over the decade 1994-2004. It relies for base line estimates on the rural surveys conducted in 1994 by the National Council for Applied Economic Research. It also uses the National Sample Survey Organisation’s 61st Round’s 2004 rural data as extracted and published in the Sachar Report. It further examines data on Hindu-Muslim income differentials identified as a result of the independent surveys of 42 Minority Concentration Districts (MCDs).The findings do not substantiate the idea of fixed and firm Muslim household income/expenditure differences over time compared to the Hindu majority. On the other hand, they indicate that a relatively faster Muslim progress over the decade 1994-2004 has led to closing of the initial gap. This is especially heartening as it relates to the period of liberalisation and the transition to a market economy, which has disrupted many traditional patterns of rural livelihoods especially of artisans.
