The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushwarat (AIMMM) should formally take note of the order by the Government of UP:
a) to banish instruction of Urdu, even from the primary level by introducing Sanskrit, as compulsory language, in addition to Hindi and English from Class III, thus leaving no room for Urdu.
b) to introduce as compulsory Hindu rites of worship like Pooja and Archna of Mother Ganges and Bharat Mata and Vande Matram as Salutation for registering attendance.
This is apart from objectionable contents in the text books of history, social studies and Hindi which denigrate role of Islam and Muslims in India and focus on Hindu myths and legends and Hindu gods and personalities.
All this amounts not only to Hinduisation but cultural, linguistic and social genocide against the letter and spirit of the Indian Constitution and the universally accepted norms for treatment of minority groups laid down in international convention.
I, therefore, suggest that the Mushawarat should, in cooperation with All India Deeni Talimi Council, challenge the constitutionality of the orders as well as ask the Muslim community in UP to withdraw its children from all government schools en masse. This may duly be placed on the agenda for the coming meeting of the Working Committee.
