Muslims are the principal minority of West Bengal, a state situated in the eastern part of Indian sub-continent, comprising about 27 per cent of the state's total population. Sociologists and social anthropologists have studied the social organization of many Indian communities such as the Tribals and the Hindu castes but unfortunately such studies on the Muslims of West Bengal as well as India with regard to their society, economy, culture and ethnicity are very negligible causing ample loopholes in our perception and information about this very large minority from empirical point of view. As a result of which there seems to be huge lacunae in socio-scientific research and perceptive. The present paper is an attempt to examine the socio-economic and educational situations of the Other Backward Class (OBC) Muslims of West Bengal and an especial effort has also been made to find out the factors contributing as blockage in their development and social change. The paper is based on both primary and secondary data. Various relevant published and unpublished literatures have been consulted besides authors' empirical observations of the Muslim communities of West Bengal at the micro level as well as macro level.
