Assam CM's 'War' On Madrassas | Will Appeasement Holds Back Reform? | The NewsHour Debate

In this episode of The NewsHour Debate with Navika Kumar, we discuss the recent controversy sparked by Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. He opposed education at madrasas, Assam CM said students at madrasas cannot become doctors or engineers. He further suggested that Quran should be taught at home & not in schools. CM said madrasas should provide freedom to students to choose their future. Assam CM suggested students be allowed to enter any religious institution only after a certain age. We are joined by expert guests to share their views on this. "APJ Abdul Kalam, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Dr Rajendra Prasad- all of them studied from a Madrassa," says Dr Shoaib Jamai. "Finally, here is a Chief Minister, who is taking steps toward 'true secularism'. The state has no business running religious schools. Secularism is a 'total' separation of religion & state," says Anand Ranganathan.
