Excerpts
In our context, can radicalisation be prevented? May be if the community itself takes some basic steps. The most important is to end the isolationism of the madarssas. In these institutions, only Muslim boys and girls meet people from their own communities. On the other hand, in all other schools — even private institutions — students from different religions, communities, mingle sit on the same bench and study the same secular lessons.
With school authorities keeping the texts in these institutions under a lynx eye for any hate material, it is most likely that they get a broader understanding of the country they live in. That is not the case in the Muslims only schools, known as madarssas. The UPA Government, unfortunately, made the rule that these madarssas need only to teach science and mathematics additional to religious instruction to get the same status as the other schools.
The question is not one of science and history teaching. The inter-mingling of students from different backgrounds is important equally to enable the students to cultivate broader view and liberal outlook as basic condition of citizenship of a secular liberal country.
Instead of such broader view, the Muslim community in this country is letting itself more and more being ushed into a shell. The radicals are telling Muslim public figures not to participate in lighting of brass lamps that is the common cultural practice at all public functions — only Muslims do not participate, all other communities gladly join in lamp lighting.
In spite of several Muslims being at the top of the arts scene — films, music, painting etc — the clerics have advised their folk not to get into such functions. Step by step the community gets into a insulatory attitude. It is its undoing. If this process continues unchecked it won’t be surprising movements like the IS and Al Qaeda will germinate out of such isolation.
