Assalamualaikum, every body,This is my first posting on this blog. My aim is to give a new perspective to the debate of madrasa reforms in India. Many views are pouring in the Internet and print media, but all these views are sounding monotonous and exhausted, failing to present a comprehensive solution to this problem.

Before we begin our main discussion, we have to ask ourselves few straight forward questions;

1) When did the modern system of madrasas start in India?

2)What were the conditions prevalent in those times?

3)Are madrasas dispensable today? i.e. can we do away with these?

4)What was the original objectives of the founders of this system of education?

5)Are they successful in achieving those objectives?

If we try to analyse these questions, we will come to some interesting conclusion.
