Urdu binds Hindu girls with Bihar Madrasa in India
Non-Muslim girls, mostly Hindus, are taking to madarsa education in Bihar these days. Many of them have done exceedingly well in the Urdu- medium examinations this year.
Thirty students in the Fauqania ( equivalent to matriculation) and sixteen students in the Maulvi ( intermediate), who have topped the examinations, belong to non- Muslim communities.
Mohd Mustafa Hussain Mansuri, secretary of the Bihar State Madarsa Examination Board ( BSMEB), said that non- Muslim candidates had performed very well in the Fauqania and Maulvi examinations the results of which were declared on Wednesday.
Among the non- Muslim students, Sanjay Kumar has secured the top position in the Maulvi examination having secured 893 out of the total of 1000 marks while amongst the girls Anjali Raj topped with 805 marks. It is the girls who have bagged the maximum number of top positions. Among the 12 non- Muslim students who secured high marks, ten are girls from Hindu families.
Sanam, daughter of a farmer and one of the toppers from Champaran aspires to become an Urdu teacher in future.
Mansuri said Sanjay Kumar wants to pursue the Alim ( equivalent of graduation) course. He pointed out that the students from other communities had been opting for madarsa examinations primarily because of the large- scale job opportunities for Urdu teachers created in the state.
This is a symbol of communal harmony, Mansuri added.“ There is a provision for one teacher for every 40 students and an Urdu teacher for every ten students in the Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan ,” he said. “ This has created a large number of vacancies for them.” In Bihar, ten per cent of vacancies were earlier reserved for Urdu teachers.
