Islamic schools redefine English language- The Times of India: "Islamic schools redefine English language"

And now we are going sow the seeds of distinct identity into minds of innocent children just because the grown ups could not face the reality. People, please understand one thing, doing anything as a reactive move will not resolve the issue. One has to look at more creative and pro active methods.

Let me quote from something that we have so conveniently forgotten of Mahatma Gandhi. I have seen people talk of Bapu in regards to Khadi etc. Does anyone remember that he also strongly suggested that we should have Hindustani as our National language? Hindustani, a beautiful blend of Hindi and Urdu. Foundation of cross language, cross culture relationship and developing understanding and tolerance for mutual beliefs.

Sorry we have forgotten that because Nehru declared Hindi has National language completely disregarding he sentiments of non Hindi speaking Indians.

I am not surprised that such religion based English schools are propping up as a result of reaction from the so called masses. Tell me one thing if any one cane, when every one is claim that they are suffering, then who the hell is enjoying? All are victims then who is the victor?

I do not subscribe to such schools but hey, all the best my friends, at least for once these schools will be teaching eastern values and not western values. Well actually in west there are hardly any values left. In true spirit of being Indian, I sincerely congradulate such schools, how so ever I may disagree to their extremist stand.

Any one?
