  • Voices for Reform in the Indian Madrasas
    Voices for Reform in the Indian Madrasas Yoginder Sikand Reforming the madrasas has today emerged as a major concern for many. Advocates of reform in the madrasas have widely different understandings of the rationale of such reform and the forms that it should assume, each reflecting their own particular agendas. This paper seeks to examine the different ways in which reform of the madrasas in contemporary India is imagined and advocated by different sections of the ‘ulama and Muslim social activists. Critics of the madrasas tend to see them in stereotypical terms, often branding all madrasas as backward and reactionary. They are routinely described by their detractors, Muslims as well as others, as conservative and illiberal. They are seen as a major burden on Muslim society, consuming much of its meager resources, and a stumbling block in the progress of the community. Much of what they teach is said to be ‘useless’ in the contemporary context, this complaint reflecting a view that ‘useful’ knowledge is that which helps equip a student to participate in the modern economy. Such critiques, while not entirely bereft of truth, appear somewhat far-fetched and exaggerated. To claim that all madrasas are static and impervious to change is grossly misleading. Madrasas today are considerably different from their counterparts in pre-colonial and colonial India, although there are significant continuities as well. As for the argument that madrasas are conservative, this is to state the obvious, for, as the madrasas generally see themselves, they are indeed the guardians of Islamic ‘orthodoxy’, regarding their principal role as the conservation of the Islamic ‘orthodox’ tradition, which, although diversely understood, historically constructed and in a constant process of elaboration, is generally seen by the ‘ulama as unchanging and fixed.
