First let me correct you. Mamata got power by ousting CPM, not Congress.
Madrasa system cannot be improved by the government alone. The whole Muslim society will also have to come forward. The role of the Ulema is critical here.
I am not sure how much the donation from oil rich Islamic countries influenced the education policy.
Let me shed light on the hypocrisy of the Islam pasand people. They never send their kids to madrasa although they constantly advocate for the system. They've vested interests in the system of various forms ranging from making money to recruiting cadres.

India is racist! I know India has untouchability problem but have never heard about her racism.
>>>>>>>>> Well, it is not your fault. We the Muslims do not discuss it. Maybe it is our fault. Also Indian Muslims are very protective of India!!
Which I always admire. They most often discuss their problems within themselves.
. It is because of the fact that WB governments have always used the Muslim as the vote bank and have paid least attention to their socio-economic development vide Dr. Hussseinur Rahman's articles
>>>>>>>>>> That is why during last election Muslims from West Bengal departed from their favorite political party (Congress) and voted from Trinomul and helped Mamata to get that seat. It did not make a huge differences because Mamata disappointed both Hindu and Muslim supporters with her dictatorial style of leadership.
But in the long run, it is making political leaders aware of the fact it Muslim votes cannot be taken as a guaranteed thing. I sincerely hope Muslim of West Bengal will continue to vote based on their issues and forgo their sure vote bank for congress party. Despite being secular congress in West Bengal have not been fair to it's Muslim supporters.
Muslims are also to blame because of their affinity for backward madrasa education.
>>>>>>>>>> Madrassa is another name for School. It became backward because we have not invested time or money in it to improve it. Sad truth is in Bangladesh all Bangla medium school are going to follow the fate of Madrassas. As political leaders are not interested in improving Bangla medium schools. So now a days University teachers do not send their kids to Bangla medium schools. Only very poor and desperate people send their kids to Bangla medium schools. The whole process of appointing teachers is VERY politicized and corrupt. So one has to pay political leaders 2-4 lac taka to get a job that pays 8-12 thousand taka per month.
To be fair, our current education minister is trying his level best ( I like him) but he is not getting help.
We are the ONLY country in the world that has Bangla as official language of the state. Still we are failing our history, tradition and our beloved language everyday. Here the atmosphere is good for takers, doers do not have much space given by political leaders. Because most political leaders (Of all parties) are barely literate.
You and others have been criticizing madrassas without acknowledging the positive impacts it has on thousands of families and our nation. I am making you aware of our plight of Bangla medium schools, try to do something positive in that area. Most of you benefited from this poor country and left it when opportunity presented ( I am not against it). Now I like to see if some of you want to devote some time and money to improve the quality of Bangla education in few schools in Bangladesh.
Islamist attack in Bangladesh is not a myth. Recent attacks testify to that.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I don't think I ever said such a thing. However you may not know that, even Hefazat demanded an investigation of the incident and demanded a third party created a mess and burnt copies of holy Qur'an.
Personally I do not care which party did this. However I will firmly support any initiative that punishes criminals who did this. To me interest of my country always comes before any political party. I was fortunate to have parents who loved this country and my teachers who also loved this country. I have not seen any logical reason to disrespect these people (And my country) who gave me so much.
Shalom!

25% population has 2% jobs. That is right. It is because of the fact that WB governments have always used the Muslim as the vote bank and have paid least attention to their socio-economic development vide Dr. Hussseinur Rahman's articles. Muslims are also to blame because of their affinity for backward madrasa education.

Sent from my iPhoneHe wants to portray that Muslims are blatantly discriminated in India
>>>>>>>> Member Roy, it is has been shown in a report (NOT my report) that, India is one of the most racist place on earth. I know you have high opinion of India (And in some areas they deserve it) but when it comes to race relations and tolerance, they are not the best example.
I am NOT trying to portray anything, it is there!!
I am simply sharing it. The reports are done by specialists in these fields. One member Dev Shaha ( I think) asked for data. It was not my report. If there are any doubts, please consult the scholar who wrote that report.
yet hardly any one from India wants to leave that hell, called India, for the neighboring Muslim majority heavens. In fact, Muslims from the neighboring Muslim majority heavens (Bangladesh and Pakistan) are entering illegally into the hell, called India, everyday.
>>>>>>>>>> There are a lot of people who want to leave India and leaving India. However it is a big country and it does not show up so easily. The data from west Bengal have been acknowledged by it's government. If you have 26% population and get around 2% of the jobs, how the hell that is fair?
You can mock and dance around it as much as you want. You cannot and should not defend such abusive system.
Bangladesh we are still evolving into democratic system. Without empowering local government and bold leadership from national level leaders, it will be difficult to make progress. Having said that, I would say majority of our population do not support any kind of religious discrimination. Over last twenty years majority of our people kept voting for strong leadership but have been disappointed most of the time.
Every time there was any injustice majority population protested vigorously.
Sadly the "Unity council" for minority rights have reduced themselves to supporter of one political party. They keep quiet when Rana plaza or Biswajit type incident take place. ONLY speak up when their voice can favor their political party.
Even recently the lawlessness in Bangladesh have been promoted as some kind of " Islamist" attack on Hindus. While we know it has been unstable politics and careless police who should be blamed for it. WHY would supporters of BNP, Jammat and BAL parties are fighting each other around election time? Surely it is not motivated by religion. Any fool can see it is a political issue but my brothers do not hesitate to malign a religion for their own little political gain. In the process they sacrifice a lot of helpless minority Bangladeshis. This is the sad truth.
Indian Muslims do face many problems but they are patriotic. I have seen many Muslims argue on India's behalf while their fellow Muslims are being persecuted in Kashmir, Gujurat, Aasam and other places. I admire their LOVE for India.
Again do understand despite the race problem, India made progress in economy and it has mature democratic system. Which often works as a safeguard for all Indians.
So it is OK to point out where India fails to deliver but that should not stop us from giving their credit where it is due.
Shalom!

As I said before, views of Mr. QR are inconsistent, without sound logic. He wants to portray that Muslims are blatantly discriminated in India, yet hardly any one from India wants to leave that hell, called India, for the neighboring Muslim majority heavens. In fact, Muslims from the neighboring Muslim majority heavens (Bangladesh and Pakistan) are entering illegally into the hell, called India, everyday. Muslim population in India is increasing at an alarming rate, while religious minorities in the neighboring Muslim majority heavens, called Bangladesh and Pakistan, are dwindling at an alarming rate. In my view, most of Mr. QR's arguments are silly, but - I find him as an accommodative personality, but confused due to his religious dogma.Jiten Roy
