Abstract

I ntroduction-Chinese Hui Muslims, who constitute around 11 Million of the Chinese population, are at the crossroads of victim-hood, deprivation and a desire to rebuild their destiny. The Hui People have a strong desire to lead a respectable life and seek opportunities for progress and development similar to other communities of china and the world. The present study observed the Hui Muslims are marginalized in all spheres of development including education, employment, income and assets. There is a need for durable changes in Chinese government policies concerning Hui minority. Being rich in diversity, china is one of the important example of pluralism with multi dimensional Ethnic, cultural and social groupings, races and religions. Like other main ethnic communities, the marginalized Hui Muslim should pursue social, economic, religious and educational aspirations not only within the frame and support of government provided infrastructure, opportunities and political awakening but needs to walk extra step for achieving their targets on their own without any kind of violence.
