Shahid Raza Khan, from Aminabad in Bihar, did his school education from a madrasa. He secured an all India rank of 751 in this year's UPSC examination.
The issue of inequality has assumed the blazing limelight at a time when inequality in India is said to be higher than it was in the British Raj. It's a ripe situation for half-truths and incendiary statements.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Approve of him to teach all madrasa child of modern fairness of gender and transfer right;the need for amending NEWER timely revisions through legislation.and Teach every madarasa graduate to draft secular right to follow muslim and non muslim.HOPE HE KNOW THE IMPLICATIONS.JAI HIND.
OMG! What will happen to this nation where a madrasa student will be an administrator? Very depressive. What is the use of Arabic language for an administrator? Nobody can change the views of a madrasa educated man. It is useless for the administration and the society. Subjects like Urdu, Arabic, Pharsi, Islamic studies, etc should be scrapped from the civil services.
Even after clearing the UPSC examinations he is attributing his success to learning at the madrassa shows his inclination and mindset. Recent attack on Sri Lanka carried out by billionaire businessman educated in UK and numerous other terrorists belonging to elite class of the society. This indicates a serious and dangerous trend for future world peace.
He says he’s so much interested in religion, but civil service is not a career in which he can explore more into his religious ambitions.
UPSC demands ‘analysis’ and not ‘rote-learning’. Aspirants, please don’t get mislead. His is an exceptional case it seems
The ThePrint should maintain it’s rationality. JNU and then seven years for preparation does not manifest that Madrasaha education is responsible for his success.
I have never sat for IAS exam.
But if memorisation of mumbo jumbo rather than analytical mind is a requirement for UPSE then no wonder India is in deep trouble.
One of the commentators says religious education is good to make you a good human being but it does not give you the skill to analyse problems.
What good such analytical brain is if it does not guaruntee a learner to be a good humane.
Education means to train to lead to succes.
A leader has to be a good humane first and the rest is mandatory
Heartiest congratulations Mr Khan.. I wish people like you should be inspiration to other.. though, path ahead might not be cake walk.. but I am sure, ur determination, values and blessings of your family and friends will give you strength. I wish you luck and wishes. I wish, U give us more reason to congratulate u in future. All the best time forever.
Kuran teaches you to practise blind faith. It does not encourage you to analyse facts before you, but it expects to accept its dictact as God’s final word.
Without going into matters of faith, we have to acknowledge that today’s knowledge economy jobs, let alone executive roles such as IAS, require careful analysis of facts while often making choices which may not be intuitively obvious.
Religious education may make you a good person, but may not improve your qualification for jobs where outcomes are far more important and route to success is ambiguous.
Congrats and best wishes to Mr Khan, but he may be an exception rather than the rule.
Rote learning can never improve analytical skills which are required to do qualitative or quantitative analysis and structured problem solving. Which is what we need.
Haven’t we heard of hordes of unemployable arts and science graduates who struggle to do simple jobs. If we cannot eliminate rite learning, which is at the heart of Indian education system, we can never progress as a country.
It’s extremely overwhelming that students from madarsas are coming to the elite services an that shows to others that these places are also capable to produce quality students Shahid u’ll be t guding light to others. All the best for all your future endeavors. God bless you

Congratulations Mr Khan. Serve the Humanity with all the love and care. And suppress the hate among the humans.
Allah doesn’t stop and differentiate in feeding the humans based on their faith and so one should follow him in serving the humanity.
Make this country a better place for humans from all the faith. All the best.
