Some of the early trends in the ongoing study of Muslim youth behaviour seem to be very distressing. The field survey is in progress in Thiruvananthapuram & Malappuram. It is expected to finish the survey in these districts by the end of November 2009. The next round of survey work will begin by the beginning of December 2009 in Kannur & Ernakulam. Some of the feed back received from the field are as follows:
1. Muslim youth support the NDF/Popular Front activities.
2. NDF has strong presence in almost all parts of Kerala.
3. People who have NDF links are not interested to cooperate with the survey. Still, many youth made their comments.
4.Muslim youth in Thiruvananthapuram lost their faith in Indian secularism.
5.There are strong reaction against the performance of Muslim League. (Details will be published later along with the whole findings).
6.Muslim youth still feel isolated from the mainstream India as per the reaction from Thiruvananthapuram.
7. Malppuram strongly trust in Indian Secularism.
8. Conditions of Muslim Youth in Malappuram are very pathetic, as sizable number of youth are unemployed,poor and drug/tobacco addict.
Of course, there are a lot to say....
