Impart modern education in madarsas: Buddha

why is Budda Dada not visiting any Sanskrit Schools to deliver speaches? Hypocrites dis own the religion they are born in, in the name of secularism, but lick the feet of foreign religions. This is exactly why we were ruled by foreigners for the last 1300 years.

Comrade Buuddhadeb should explain what happened to Marxist statement "Religion is the opium of working classes"?Appeasing Madrasa supporters amounts to playing with fire, this must be stopped otherwise 1947 will be repeated once again.

For any religion, there are actually two options. 1) Separate religious and modern technical education so that a small number of graduates of religious studies serves the religious needs of the society while a large number of graduates of the technical schools gains economically. 2) Increase the number of religious institutions and their graduate output so that they may propagate the religion vigorously, convert a large number of citizens to their chosen religion, collect funds for the religious institutions, and repeat the process to perfection.

All we hear from Muslims is about how the majority Hindu community has "ganged up" to keep them backward.Unfortunately this is just another excuse taken by their inefficient religious/political leaders.Muslims should realize that the Majority community(read hindus) are better off "Despite" the leaders.Self help is the only option.Until Muslims realize that the path to prosperity is "Not fundamentalism but being Moderate" they will continue to be backward.

Traditional AK-47 training has scared the whole world. Imagine what will happen if they train in modern n-technology and BOFOR.

Jalal ad-Din Afghani, the nineteenth-century reformer, once wrote, “Every Muslim is sick, and the only remedy is the Quran”. In response to this Conor Cruise O’Brien wrote, “the sickness gets worse the more the remedy is taken”.

Why we need Madrasas with funding from Govt? If muslims want to learn their arab book, they must teach it with their own money. No govt money for Koran education. Hindu taxes for Koran education is not acceptable.

I hope the idiot opposition leader of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, will oppose such progressive move to improve condition of common Muslims and bring them to national main stream in any excuse to woo Muslims voters.

Budha is right in asking the Muslims to strike a balance between technical and religious education. There is no salvation for Muslims in India unless they take to modern system of education and march with the times. Being religious is no bar to their following aprofessions that require modern skills. By confining their childen to masjid-based Madarssas, the Muslims are keeping their children miles away from banishing their poverty.Sadanand Dhume in the latest issue of the influential Ameican journal Commentary expressed the view with which I agree, “Until India is able to view itself and its history dispassionately, rejects the twin failures of socialism and non-alignments, modernize its Muslim citizens and bring their aspirations in line with those of the Hindu majority, it will likely remain an under achiever.”
