Md. Musa Ali, Dr. Kaushal Kishore

Abstract :

Despite religious, cultural, and linguistic diversityin India, there was hardly any tension between differentreligious communities for a very long time. In this harmony many religions have been flourishing here since long back, which have their own traditions and beliefs.But, unfortunately the phenomenon of communalism began with the establishment of British rule in India, which causes a lot of damage of property and life. Scholars and thinkers has realised that the peaceful survival of all the societies is possible only in a secular world, which can only be developed by the education. To educate their children, Madarsas have been established by the Muslims but, generally, it is alleged that religious schools (like Madrasas) promote extreme values and attitude and hence, increase friction and intolerance in the society and the teachers of these institutes contribute most into it. To examine the allegations in an academic way, the present study aims to investigate into the extent to which the madarsa teachers exhibit secular attitude. The results reveal that all selected madarsa teachers possess secular attitude.
