Sumario:By making religious community a relevant category for discussing development deficit, the Sachar Committee Report (that was submitted to the Prime Minister of India in 2007) initiated a new political discourse in India.

Its conclusions reinforced the necessity of approaching issues of development through the optic of religious community.
