This excellent article is written by Khalid Umar (the author is a Muslim, originally from Pakistan and is now working as a Barrister in UK.

 
He is very straight forward and is widely read.
 
NARENDRA MODI CAN CREATE HISTORY IF THE 1000 YEARS OLD DERELICT INSTITUTION OF “ISLAMIC MADRASSAS” IN INDIA ARE SCRAPPED.  


ONE COUNTRY-ONE CURRICULUM IS THE RECIPE OF COMMUNAL HARMONY & PEACE IN INDIA. 
 
Before enacting the Uniform Civil Code, India desperately needs a Uniform Education Code - one secular curriculum for all. 
 
When there be 3,60,000 young minds get stuck in an ancient curriculum developed in the 1700s - in Delhi alone there are more than 3,000 madrassas. 
 
Nobody can dream to take the nation ahead with millions enrolled in the over 600,000 madrassas countrywide alongwith another 40-50 lac mosques with attached Makatab or Madrasa.
 
WHAT IS TAUGHT IN MADRASSAS?
 
A Madrasa is an exclusivist religious school, where MUSLIM children are taught Quran, the Sharia, Hadith, Islamic history of invasions (Jihad). The institution of Islamic madrasas in India is as old as the history of Islam in India, say 1000 years. The syllabus teaches the students to hate all non-Muslims, especially the Hindus, who are declared as idolaters- dubbed in Madrassas as hateful human beings, called ‘kaffirs’.
 
The establishment of Ghana-i-Hind (the goal of establishment of Islamic rule across India through Jihad) is also taught in almost every madrassa, both in India and Pakistan.
 
Madrassas produce highly indoctrinated and poisoned minds, full of hate, fear and false pride. 
 
This derelict institution can't be reformed. Outright scrap page is the solution. Helping them is writing your own obituary. 
 
The UPA Government initiated an ill thought plan as part of its appeasement politics - “Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madrasas” (SPQEM) in 2009-10. 
This fruitless scheme was introduced to encourage Madarsas and Maktabs to introduce formal subjects i.e. Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Hindi and English; The scheme is STILL ongoing in 18 states in the country. So far under SPQEM, over 21,000 Madarsas spread over different states have been given Rs. 1138 crores. Only in the state of Uttar Pradesh there are 18,27,566 children enrolled in 8,584 Madrasas, as per GOI figures. 
 
That is mindless stupidity
 
Core Islamic scripture as taught can't be made secular and humanistic. This scheme, initiated by Congress, as a part of its appeasement policy, is a sheer waste of time and valuable national resources and it must be scrapped forthwith. 
 
WHY MADRASSAS CAN’T BE Reformed?
 
ISLAMIC TEACHINGS and modern education can’t coexist. Would the students of madrassa will trust Science which says Earth is spherical and revolves around the SUN or will believe QURAN which say, earth is flat and the SUN sets in murky water of a lake? How can you teach them harmony and love when they learn from Quran that all IDOLATORS are consigned to the eternal HELL-FIRE?
 
WHAT THE MODI GOVERNMENT MUST DO IMMEDIATELY?
 
1- All madrassas must be nationalised, registered and the state should have the writ to appoint teachers, administrators and curriculum there. Their financials & source of income to be scrutinised. All the madrassa be converted into modern schools open to all the communities. Community exclusive, organised & institutionalised religious education must be scrapped for any religion. ALL children must be taught uniform curriculum. 
 
2- All the mosques must be monitored through CCTV recording to check what it being taught and fed. It is not a coincidence that every riot in Indian cities starts on Friday after Juma prayers.
 
If China, Singapore and Egypt can all control mosques, why can’t India, the country with the second largest Muslim population world? 
 
"If India doesn’t control Mullahs, mosques and the madrassas, peace and communal harmony in India will remain a pipe dream"
