LetsDiscuss: Hindus outnumber Muslims in some West Bengal Madrasas
Madrasas in West Bengal are attracting an increasing number of Hindu students with the shift in focus from Islamist education to science and technology. Hindu students now outnumber Muslims in four madrasas of the state. These include Kasba MM High Madrasa in Uttar Dinajpur district, Ekmukha Safiabad High Madrasa in Cooch Behar district, Orgram Chatuspalli High Madrasa at Burdwan district and Chandrakona Islamia High Madrasa at West Midnapore district. 'The percentage of Hindu students vary from 57 percent to 64 percent in these institutes, which stand out as proof that madrasas (Islamic seminaries) and secularism are not anachronistic,' West Bengal Board of Madrasah Education president Sohrab Hussain told. He said 618 out of the 1,077 students in Kasba, 554 out of 868 students at Orgram, 201 out of 312 at Chandrakona and 290 out of total 480 students at Ekmukha are Hindus. 'Muslims are a minority in all these districts,' Hussain said. Denying that madrasas impart only Islamist education, he said the institutes lay more stress on modern subjects. 'It's a misconception that our students only learn Islam-related subjects at madrasas. Time is changing and so are we. Now, we lay more stress on science and technology than religion. 'Already 42 madrasas have computer laboratories; we will increase the number by another 100 labs in 2009. Over 100 madrasas offer vocational training in not only tailoring but even mobile applications technology,' Hussain said. He said an increasing number of Hindu students were choosing madrasas over other schools because madrasas had more credibility. 'Madrasas have been successful in winning the confidence of students and guardians. Mostly first generation learners from backward classes come to study here as they know they won't be looked down upon. Besides, madrasa certificates are at par with other national-level examinations,' said Hussain. There are 506 madrasas in West Bengal and 52 more will come up by the end of 2009. Overall, 17 percent of the students and 11 percent of the teachers in these institutions are non-Muslims. 'All students are treated equally... there is no religious bias in the madrasas. Even the syllabus of the madrasas are no different from the Madhyamik - the state secondary examinations. 'The only difference is our students have to sit for a 100-mark extra paper on Arabic and Islamic studies, which in a way is good for Hindu students too. They can learn a new language at the same time,' Hussain said. Golum Mustafa, headmaster of Kasba madrasa, said all students study and play together irrespective of their religion. 'If anyone asks me why Hindu students study at madrasas, I ask them, 'Why not?' Be it school or madrasa - they are meant for imparting education. There are many Hindu students who passed out from Kasba and are well-established in life,' Mustafa said on phone. Bibhas Chandra Ghorui, a Hindu assistant teacher at Chandrakona, echoed Mustafa. 'There are seven schools within one km of this madrasa. But still people send their wards here, mostly because of affordability. One has to pay Rs.375 at general schools while the fees at the madrasa is only Rs.110. 'As for religious tolerance, if a Muslim student can study Baishnav Padavali - a Hindu religious hymns - then why can't a Hindu student study Islam or Arabic?' Ghorui said on phone.6 comments | category: LetsDiscuss | Content type: Text/Pictures | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas

LetsDiscuss: Reporter Throws SHOES On GEORGE BUSH
I think, after this incident press reporters will not be allowed to attend a press conference with shoes...lolz... Well, it gives fresh meaning to the phrase Shooed Away. President George W. Bush ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head — one shoe after the other — in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Both shoes narrowly missed their target and thumped loudly against the wall behind the leaders. "Don't worry about it," the president said as the room erupted into chaos. Iraqi reporters started shouting what Bush later explained were apologies for the incident. "So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?" Bush said, comparing the action to political protests in the United States. "If you want the facts, it was a size 10," he joked. The shoe attack came as Bush and al-Maliki were about to shake hands. The assailant — later identified as television correspondent Muntadar al-Zeidi — leapt from his chair and hurled his footwear at the president, who was about 20 feet away. "This is the good bye kiss, you dog." he yelled. The crowd descended on al-Zeidi, who works for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt. He was wrestled to the ground by security officials and then hauled away, moaning as they departed the room. Later, a trail of fresh blood could be seen on the carpet, although the source was not known. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt. When U.S. Marines toppled Saddam Hussein's statue on Firdos Square in 2003, the assembled crowd whacked it with their shoes....2 comments | category: LetsDiscuss | Content type: Video Clip | Add this link to... | tell a friend | bakwaas
