India is a multi-cultural democracy where people of different religion, culture and language etc. are living through the ages. In India, the Muslims form the largest minority group. Since independence India as a nation state is developing in various fields including the education sector. By and large, all section of people are today in the path of development. But what is most striking is that the Muslim community particularly the Muslim women are lagging far behind. This paper is an outcome of a field study carried out in a Muslim inhabited village of the Baksa district of Assam with a view to prepare a report on the educational problems of the Muslim girl students in secondary schools. The purpose of the paper is to identify the different causes of their educational backwardness and to achieve the goals of universal education to make them uplift in the education sector. It will try to elaborate the causes of the allegation that in the Indian society the social status of the Muslim women are not fairly treated as equal to male at all the places..
