In Kerala, too, where literacy levels are high, 10.4% of state government employees are Muslim, but this is also less than half of the share of Muslims in the population of the state.
Maharashtra too has posted a low score with simply 1.9 percent Muslims in Higher Positions. Bihar and Karnataka have 8.6 per cent in higher positions in State PSUs and Gujarat 8.5 per cent, higher than most states, but still, not even fifty percent of the population share of Muslims.
