SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book looks at madrasas and education institutions run by Muslim communities in India focusing on the history, social relevance and importance of these institutions. It provides a sensitive and in-depth analysis of the push and pull of tradition, religiosity and modernity within these establishments. The book studies madrasas in Kerala, Gujarat, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Ladakh, and Delhi and examines new initiatives, curriculums, models of education and professional training being offered. It contextualizes educational reforms in madrasas in response to changing policies and larger socio-economic changes in contemporary India. It also interrogates stereotypes associated with Islam and madrasa education, paying particular attention to their syllabi and courses and the roles and position of women in these institutions. Emphasizing the long and complex history of Muslim communities and madrasas, the book showcases the remarkable diversity of approaches and pedagogical practices in modern madrasas in India. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of history of education, religious education, comparative education and sociology. It will also be useful to people working with NGOs and policymakers working in the field of educational reform and planning"--
