India is one of the countries with the largest Muslim population in the world. The 2006 report of the Sachar Committee sparked a debate on the issue of socio-economic marginalization of Muslims and expressed their concern that "due to concerns about their safety, Muslims are increasingly turning to slums living in various parts of the country" (Sachar et al., 2006, 14). Unlike other forms of residential clusters, the isolation of Muslims in urban areas is an increasingly important issue as it affects the overall human development of cities. Due to racial segregation, there are significant differences in the value of the Human Development Index. The inequality of human development poses a challenge to democratic cities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand and address the factors that lead to urban racial segregation, as well as how the correlation between quality of life indicators affects human development due to racial segregation.
