Why there is a rising need to regularise madrasa system in India
Madrasas play an influential role in the thought process of a community, whether political or scientific and the revival cannot take place either by shutting down madrasas or by seeing government as an adversary The Yogi administration in Uttar Pradesh has announced plans to identify all the unrecognised madrasas, or Islamic schools in the state in an attempt to regularise and modernise the whole system that produces thousands of religious preachers, clerics, scholars, and sermoners every year. More than 90 per cent of madrasa students in India belong to poor families.” According to the Ministry of Minority Affairs, India has 24,010 madrasas, of which 4,878 were unrecognised, in 2018-19. In India too, madrasas received a similar backlash for deviating from the nationalist temperament and barring the students from learning science and modern studies, which keeps them secluded from the nation’s progress and economic development. The report claims that madrasas in the nation receive funding of close to Rs 10,000 crore annually, but 50 per cent of this sum originates from “secret sources”.
