Gita to be taught in Muslim Madrasas in Madhya Pradesh

[JohnyBoy]

This is indeed very stupidest move by BJP.. This is what I am saying all along.. People are blind with NaMo factor that, they have choosen to show a blind eye towards all the other harkeths of BJP... Our country is destined to be doomed if we stop these kind of nonsense in our country..

I think most Indians would condemn this news...However, please understand that the NAMO factor has already taken over the by leaps and bounds because of its progressive approach and not because it aggregates any religious faiths.

This ain't thread for comparison between gita and quran.
If you want Muslims to read gita then Hindus will have to read quran.

Did i say i got problem letting Hindu kids read quran.

If you teaches these kind of things, how can BJP spread their agenda?

What are they going to achieve by teaching Bhagwat Geetha anyway to those muslim kids?

Chauhan always gave the idea of a good , mature and moderate politician .

With him developing MP out of BIMARU , he would have been a better politician in PM role for BJP than Modi .

But this news will completely mess up his image .

This is what scares me a lot.. They do not have to worry about what people think.. With BJP in power, they will be like rabid dogs running around biting any people they see..

I am in favour of banning both of them .......

Bhopal: The teachings of Hindu scripture Bhagwad Gita will soon be compulsory for young students in Islamic schools of Madhya Pradesh, says the state's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, its latest in a series of decisions criticised as 'saffronisation of education'.

The MP government's August 1 order says Urdu textbooks of Class 1 and 2 will include teachings of the Gita - considered one of the holiest of Hindu scriptures chronicling Lord Krishna's advice to a dithering prince Arjuna ahead of the epic Mahabharata battle.

The order may snowball into a huge controversy as it clearly applies to Islamic schools, or Madrasas, the only ones to have Urdu textbooks.

"It is unconstitutional," said Haleem Khan, member of the Centre's National Monitoring Committee for Minority Education. "If the government does not take back its decision, we will go to the court."

Another controversial move three years ago to make Surya Namaskar and chants compulsory in government schools was toned down after Muslim bodies moved court.

Last month, the Gita was introduced in 'Special Hindi' books of Class 9 - 12 and 'Special English' books of class 11 and 12. Since 2011, when the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government's announcement of the Gita in curriculum sparked protests, the move has been introduced in phases.

"This should not be taken the wrong way - this is not saffronisation," state Education Minister Archana Chitnis told NDTV. "Teachings from Sikhism, Christianity and other religions are also taught in our schools."

Religion, added the minister, had nothing to do with the decision. "We have picked up threads from the Gita to instill a sense of duty and responsibility, obedience, love for nature and environment in students."

The controversial order comes just four months ahead of the state assembly elections.

Opposition parties accuse the state government of trying to give a Hindu twist to school education at a time there are other, more serious concerns like plummeting school results, shortage of teachers and the poor quality of teachers who are hired at a pittance.

Please mate.. Lets not discuss Namo Factor here.. It will be turned in to a political discussion and actual issue will be ignored.. We will have the discussion in some other thread

Nothing, just digging their own grave. Having a feeling BJP no better than Congress. It'll be a difficult choice during next election.

why not teach them science, maths, literature. things which would actually be relevant to them for their future lives

my point is if your teaching them one religion then teach them all..or teach none.....i don't want to explain myself so many times...

You forgot they want Muslims brought back to dharmic religions

Why mate? Dont you think Christians and Muslims adapted many Indian culture... Many of the practices we follow is also from Indian culture.. What more dharmic do they want?

Did i say i got problem letting Hindu kids read quran.

Whats the need of compulsory reading of any of these books.. I came to know about Mahabharata and Ramayana from Amar chithrakatha... SOme of the characters in it influenced me a lot.. I started reading more of it.. In India, you do not need to teach bhagawat geetha or any other dharmic book to any one.. They will read it some way or another..

 

[ExtraOdinary]

my point is if your teaching them one religion then teach them all..or teach none.....i don't want to explain myself so many times...

and my point is religious education has no place in this age and time . This is an incredibly stupid step by BJP govt.

Seeing the one liners. nah, not increasing post count! Just don't want to type much, hence just agreeing disagreeing with people.

Their principal works like this if he is not Hindu,he ain't dharmic.
And this is done by those who runs BJP behind the back
Unfortunately they are headquartered in my city
