The point is, who is going to teach science, mathematics, social studies, language and English at the Madrassas? Muslims, no doubt. It would be a double bonus for the Mullahs at the Madrassas. Unemployed mainstream educated Muslims can be employed as teachers and these teachers in turn can be radicalized by the Mullahs. A government which swears by secularism should have spent this money on government run schools, many of which do not even have a blackboard. - K.Venugopal - Mumbai
The first ever wise step have been taken by govt of India in "last 62 years".Let us lookforward for good oppertitunities that will have in madarsas now, let the world know wht does madarsa teaches. - Abrar - delhi
