| Abstract
|
:
|
This qualitative study examines ways in which the Indian State and Islamic madrassas interact with each other, and attempts to shed light on the various social, political and economic factors that determine the nature of this interaction. The study is located within the existing policy context generated by the government of India to “modernize” madrassas and to improve the socio-economic conditions of Muslims, who constitute the largest minority population in the country. This research argues that the present relationship between the government and madrassas is reminiscent of the colonial relationship between these two institutions. This hypothesis is based on facts about attitudes of resistance and assertions of religious identity developed in response to cultural, economic, and political oppression by the British government, which has been transposed onto Hindu majority rule since India’s independence in 1947.
