Perhaps they've never met a madarsa passout in their entire lives but they feel confident enough to lecture the Muslim community that its completely fine for Muslims to send their kids to Madrasas while Hindu kids can be benefitted by modern education

The funny thing is they have included a pic of an exam paper with the caption: "The Model Logic & Philosophy Paper from UP Madarsa".
This "Logic and Philosophy" paper has 2 questions in Urdu: What is the plural of Aql and What is the singular of Malaika.
It further says:
"Such extensive reading in rhetoric and literature – secular and religious – has parallels with other traditional education systems. But a unique feature of the madrasa system is the emphasis on the rational sciences".
Like really?
They further compared Madarsa syllabus with calculus:
"One can debate the relevance of such knowledge in today’s world. But the same arguments can be made of the use and application of differential calculus, or organic chemistry in everyday life."

They think it's very "cool" to praise the Madarsa system, which will earn them some brownie points with a few Muslim friends but inherently, they want Muslims to remain backward and regressive, so they can become their savior and messiah.

Adhiraj Parthasarathy studied from University of Chicago. Saurabh Seth is a Delhi-based lawyer.
Why didn't they go to Madrasa themselves for higher education? Will they send their own kids to madrasa to learn rational thought and scientific inquiry?
