		<description><![CDATA[He is a simple man with a gentle smile, and donning characteristic Muslim appearance. Long white beard, a skull cap (topi) and very simple clothing is what describes much better about Feraque Ahmad, the District Magistrate of India’s Muslim dominated district Kishanganj. At the first sight hardly anyone will believe that the man can be an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer and encompasses a high (liberal) thinking.[...]

Sachar Committee has recommended that in the field of education, many more IIT and Polytechnic colleges should be established in the areas where the Muslim population is high. As most o the Muslims depend on self-employment and daily labour wages for their livelihood, Sachar Committee has recommended implementation of second labour commission recommendations which will be more useful for Muslims.

		<description><![CDATA[Lying to the immediate south of Delhi, straddling the rocky outcrops of the Aravalli range, is the region known as Mewat, named after the Meo Muslims, the principal community living in the area. Mewat covers large parts of the Gurgaon and Faridabad districts in Haryana and Alwar and Bharatpur in Rajasthan. Recently, a separate district was carved out of the Meo-dominated parts of Haryana and also given the name of ‘Mewat’.[...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my last day in Mewat, I fixed an appointment to meet a Meo woman whom I had heard much about—46 year-old Mohammadi Begum. When I did fieldwork in Mewat two decades ago, she was the only Meo female to have earned a Bachelor’s degree. Today, there are some three hundred others like her—which, considering that the Meo female population is estimated at around 600,000, still does not amount to much.[...]]]></description>

In this interview with Yoginder Sikand he discusses his proposal, sent to the Government of India for its consideration, for the setting up of a national-level Central Madrasa Board and the vociferous opposition that the proposal has met with from some Muslim quarters.

		<description><![CDATA[The Madrasa as an institution has always been an eye-sore for the Sangh Parivar. They see it as the defence line for Muslim identity and an obstacle to eventual assimilation of Muslims in the Hindu fold. Under the NDA government the madrasas particularly in border areas were looked upon as cradle for terrorists and shelter for militants. As a result many madrasas including Nadwatul Ulama were subjected to search. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many of us Ramadaan has lost its spirituality and has become more of a ritual than a form of Ibaadah. We fast from morning to night like a zombie just because everyone around us is fasting too. We forget that its a time to purify our hearts and our souls from all evil....we forget to make dua, forget to beseech Allaah to forgive us and ask Him to save us from the Fire. Sure we stay away from food and drink but that's about all.]]></description>

It concerns no less a person than Dr. Gopi Chand Narang, Professor Emeritus, Delhi University, who from 2003 to 2007 presided over the Sahitya Akademi, India’s foremost Literary organization, and has received two “Padma” awards from the Indian state — the latest being “Padma Bhushan” in 2004.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Indian educational system suffers from so many drawbacks. But in spite of the limitations imposed by slow and limited growth of education, education has become one of the influential instruments of social change in India. It has led to the mobilization of people’s aspirations for development and change. Thus in modern complex national societies, education can neither be regarded as a controlling force conserving cultural heritage, nor could it be viewed as an agent of social change. It can only be regarded as a cooperative force in bringing about social changes decided by the forces possessing more pervasive power in society.[...]]]></description>
