MADRASAS IN INDIA
Description
The author says that the public mind continues to harbour prejudices regarding madrasas due to the English language media's continued tirade. Madrasa authorities are unable to challenge this propaganda, mainly because they are not well versed in English. The defence of the madrasa is only offered by the Urdu press which, being Muslim owned, does not carry as much weight with public opinion. This book discusses at length various issues confronting Indian madrasas, their contribution to Indian society, their shortcomings and why they need to improve their syllabus that has not been updated for more than a century. Contributors to this text include Yoginder Sikand, Adil Mehdi, Waris Mazhari, S Ubaidur Rahman and Mohammad Arshad. Akhtarul Wasey is Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Languages in Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi and Director of the Zakir Hussain Institute of Islamic Studies in the same University.
