This study steers clear of the stereotype conception of madrasas as the training ground of terrorists. Its chief concern is the search for the ground of realities about madrasas, what and how they teach, and whether the syllabus or ambience of madrasas prepares the students for successfully facing the challenges of the modern world. It enquires into the reasons for a relatively large number of Muslims opting for madrasas education for their children. The work also tries to understand the almost universal nisab or syllabus of madrasas, called Dars-i-Nizami, developed during Aurangzeb s time, and notes that there have been very few marked changes in the madrasas syllabus, though the world and life have moved so much ahead. A large portion of madrasas syllabus, therefore has become irrelevant for modern times. The author convincingly argues that most Muslim children must study in modern schools and only a small number who want to specialize in theology should study in madrasas. The study pays particular attention to the proposals for madrasa reforms, both from within the system, and the madrasa modernization scheme of the government."

This collection of essays considers the position of Madrasa education in a post 9/11 world. The authors question whether the Dini Madaris - Muslim educational institutions - are linked to terrorism and explore both the transparency of funding and patronage and whether there are political implications to this educational system.

The Theme Of The Book Relates To The Very Critical Issue Of Modern India That Is The Modernization Of The Muslim Youth From A Minority Perspective. Muslims Constitute A Dominant Minority In India. Hence Their Modernization Assumes Crucial Significance For The Development, Prosperity And Unity Of Indian Nation. The Problem Has Been Posed Against A Wider Context Of The Interface Between Islam And Modernization Both From Global And Indian Perspective.It Has Been Analysed Against The Imperical Data Utilising Highly Sophisticated Statistical Technique. The Book Analyses Not Only The Six Dimensions Of Modernization, Namely. Secular Orientations, Scientific Orientation, Universalistic Orientation, Independent Orientation, Achievement Orientation And Civic Orientation But Also Attempts To Explain The Same In The Light Of Social Background And Politicization Of The Muslim Youth. The Relative And Combined Contribution Of All The Variables Involved Has Been Analysed And Interpreted. The Study Defuncts The Theory That Politicization Leads To Modernization. It Exposes The Fact That Muslim Youth Is Moderately Modernised And Offers Pointers Which Are Needed For Solving The Problems Created By Increasing Religious Fundamentalism Both Among The Majority And The Minority. It Supports The Hypothesis That Hindus And Muslims Are Two Eyes Of Mother India And They Have To Focus Evenly Together To Enable Her To March Steadily On The Path Of Peace, Progress And Prosperity.
