When Israelis pushed out Arabs in 1948, they didn’t think that embittered refugees would turn into a permanent threat to their new state. This was a catastrophic miscalculation.
ISKP, a sub-continental branch of the Islamic State, is said to have vowed to extend operations in Kashmir, on encouragement from Pakistan’s security establishment.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Hey look. The students have protested. The authorities have rejected. Now, can we let it rest there? Those who don’t want to learn under certain circumstances will leave for better pastures. They have that right. But we have no right to despise, generate hatred, etc. etc. amongst ourselves. Mutual respect is most important.
When Gurudev Tagore opened the Centre for Islamic Studies at Shantiniketan, he invited Prof. Gyula Germanus – a world-renowned Hungarian Christian authority on Islam – to head it.
What is happening in BHU is sickening to say the least.
You think wrong! No devout Hindu would want to even learn Urdu, Muslim’s language, to qualify to teach in madrasas. Ask any of these BHU protesting students whether they would learn Urdu to teach in the madrasas. They would say, NO.
These are next generation bigots…. I am now feeling ashamed of being a graduate from BHU which once upon a time a seat of learning and spark of liberal thought in the hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh.
The teachers in schools and colleges lay foundations for our growth.Religion is personal and mixing up education is sure to hinder our growth.The scholars search beyond the unseen and unravel complex doses of wisdom.It is sad that every step in our nation now is being given a restricted religious tinge.Surely Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, a great teacher would be sad to watch our restricted vision.I know of a Brahmin Principal of Muslim High School near Chennai Triplicane who collected donations for building a school mosque to facilitate students to save time on Fridays and offer their noon prayers.Mixing religion in education is too unfortunate.Brigadier VAM Hussain(Retd)

I think Muslims can set an example by appointing devout Hindus as Teachers in madarsas .
