Introduction Much has been discussed about the role Madrasas have been playing in providing education to the educationally deprived sections of the Muslim community. It is also a well recognised fact that in many remote parts of the country, Madrasas have been the only educational institutions available for the children of the community. Not surprisingly, therefore, various governments have been keenly looking at Madrasas and the possibility of their role in mitigating educational backwardness among Muslims. Additionally, the popular misconception about Madrasas being a den of fundamentalism and a belief that students of these Madrasas have no access to the study of modern subjects has invited the attention of subsequent governments at the centre to try and ‗mainstream‘ them. A number of initiatives have been taken for this purpose and for promoting the teaching of modern subjects in them. While the scheme for Madrasas modernisation has been underway for the past two decades, the present scheme – Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madrasas (SPQEM) -- was initiated in 2009 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. With over four years since its implementation an evaluation of the scheme was called for. The Dr. K.R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, was entrusted with the task of evaluating this scheme. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) through Ed.CIL. and the Dr. K.R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia was signed. The evaluation exercise was initiated at the beginning of February, 2013. Field visits were made to the states of Madhya Pradesh (MP), Uttar Pradesh (UP), Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh and Tripura.

  • Politicizing Islam: State, Gender, Class, and Piety in France and India
    Politicizing Islam: State, gender, class, and piety in France and India By Zehra Fareen Parvez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Cihan Tuğal Professor Loïc Wacquant Professor Kiren Aziz-Chaudhry Fall 2011 Abstract Politicizing Islam: State, gender, class, and piety in France and India by Zehra Fareen Parvez Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair This dissertation is a comparative ethnographic study of Islamic revival movements in Lyon, France, and Hyderabad, India. It introduces the importance of class and the state in shaping piety and its politicization. The project challenges the common conflation of piety and politics and thus, the tendency to homogenize “political Islam” even in the context of secular states. It shows how there have been convergent forms of piety and specifically gendered practices across the two cities—but divergent Muslim class relations and in turn, forms of politics. I present four types of movements. In Hyderabad, a Muslim middle-class redistributive politics directed at the state is based on patronizing and politicizing the subaltern masses. Paternalistic philanthropy has facilitated community politics in the slums that are building civil societies and Muslim women’s participation. In Lyon, a middle-class recognition politics invites and opposes the state but is estranged from sectarian Muslims in the working-class urban peripheries. Salafist women, especially, have withdrawn into a form of antipolitics, as their religious practices have become further targeted by the state.

  • Gujrat Pogrom – a Flagrant Violation of Human Rights and Reflection of Hindu Chauvinism in the Indian Society
    Gujrat Pogrom – A Flagrant Violation of Human Rights and Reflection of Hindu Chauvinism in the Indian Society The Incident: Five and half years ago, during the last week of February 2007, the Muslims living across the Indian state of Gujarat witnessed their massacre at the hands of their Hindu compatriots. On 27 February, the stormtroopers of the Hindu right, decked in saffron sashes and armed with swords, tridents, sledgehammers and liquid gas cylinders, launched a pogrom against the local Muslim population. They looted and torched Muslim-owned businesses, assaulted and murdered Muslims, and gang-raped and mutilated Muslim women. By the time the violence spluttered to a halt, about 2,500 Muslims had been killed and about 200,000 driven from their homes. The Gujrat pogrom, which has been documented through recent interviews of perpetrators of the pogrom, was distinguished not only by its ferocity and sadism (foetuses were ripped from the bellies of pregnant women, old men bludgeoned to death) but also by its meticulous advance planning with the full support of government apparatus. The leaders used mobile phones to coordinate the movement of an army of thousands through densely populated areas, targeting Muslim properties with the aid of computerized lists and electoral rolls provided by state agencies. It has been established by independent reports that the savagery of the anti-Muslim violence was planned, coordinated and implemented with the complicity of the police and the state government. The Gujarat carnage was unprecedented in the history of communal riots in India. Never such communal violence took place with so much active collaboration of the state.

Hindutva’s Blood 1 Hindutva’s Blood Dwaipayan Banerjee and Jacob Copeman 1 Like many other nationalist movements, Hindu nationalism “understand[s] and order[s] the world through ‘cultural essentials’ of religion, blood, and other practices related to the body—food, marriage, death” (Hansen 1999:11). In what follows, we focus particularly on how blood as a political substance of Hindu nationalism congeals ideology in material forms. Specifically, we trace how blood is imagined and exteriorized by Hindutva leaders and adherents: in ideological texts, in donation camps, through the offering of activists’ own blood to political figures, in blood- portraiture of political figures, and in bloodshed during episodes of communal violence. 2 Tracing these imaginations and exteriorizations, we identify three ways in which blood has become a medium and conceptual resource for Hindutva practice. First, we trace how Hindu nationalist ideologues equate blood with the nation’s spatial boundaries, demanding that non-Hindus recognize an ancient, essential blood-tie and assimilate back into the Hindu fold.

  • CASE ANALYSIS of SPECIAL STATUS of DELHI (GOVERNMENT of NCT of DELHI VS UNION of INDIA) Abhishek Jain Student, Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida
    CASE ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL STATUS OF DELHI (GOVERNMENT OF NCT OF DELHI VS UNION OF INDIA) Abhishek Jain Student, Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida BACKGROUND OF THE CASE The Administrative head of the National Capital Territory government is the Chief Minister. The Court said that Chief Minister is the Executive head of Delhi Government not the Lieutenant Governor (LG). The role of Lieutenant Governor is that to help and advice the Council of Ministers related to all matters like Violence, shortage, emergency and so on. And only the Delhi Assembly has the power to make laws. The Bench of five Judges on July 4, 2018 said that only the Chief Minister is the Executive head of the National Capital Territory (NCT). The Five Judges are: 1. Chief Justice of India Deepak Mishra 2. Justice Kumar Sikri 3. Justice Ajay Manikrao Khanwilkar 4. Justice DY Chandrachud 5. Justice Ashok Bhushan The scuffle between the Chief Minister of Delhi and Lieutenant Governor of Delhi lead to a legal dispute on the status of the National Capital Territory. The issues revolve around the administrative powers of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi in the light of the special status of Delhi as a Union Territory. The Delhi High Court previously heard the issues in this case in 2015 because there was a conflict between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Retired Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung over various matters. Some of the matters are: Appointment of Chief Secretary without referringtheLieutenant Governor, and the Chief Minister instituting corruption enquiries without the Lieutenant Governor’s concurrence. The misunderstanding was arises due to the special status of Delhi.

The dissertation is based on eighteen months of fieldwork I conducted in four types of Muslim family law institutions: sharia courts (dar ul qaza institutions), women’s arbitration centers (mahila panchayats), a mufti’s authoritative legal advice (fatawa), and a mufti’s healing practice. All of these institutions adjudicate cases and attend to problems that fall under the definition of “Personal Law.” According to the Indian legal system, Personal Law covers matters of marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, succession, and adoption. Within the state’s legal system, secular judges adjudicate Personal Law cases according to a codified version of the religious law of the disputants.

    October 1, 2013 Press Release: Shri Najeeb Jung, LG of Delhi to inaugurate an exhibition of Paintings & Drawings at Jamia Shri Najeeb Jung, Hon.’ble Lieutenant Governor of NCT of Delhi is going to inaugurate an Exhibition of Paintings and Drawings called “Event Horizon” by Prof Pankaj Sharan at Jamia Millia Islamia. The exhibition will be inaugurated on October 3, 2013 at 11.30 AM in M.F. Husain Art Gallery, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi which will be on view till October 5, 2013. Shri Najeeb Jung, Hon.’ble Lieutenant Governor of NCT of Delhi shall be the Chief Guest of the Inaugural Function of the Exhibition and he will also address the audience on this occasion. Prof. S.M. Sajid, Offg. Vice-Chancellor, Jamia Millia Islamia shall preside over the Inaugural Function of the Exhibition. Prof. Pankaj Sharan is a theoretical physicist who has worked at Jamia Millia Islamia for the last 32 years. He has been drawing and painting since very early age. At one time, he toyed with the idea of switching to painting full-time in the late 1970’s. But, as he says, at that time, the future of a theoretical physicist was marginally more certain than that of a painter. Prof. Pankaj Sharan’s work is mainly in three categories: landscapes, portraits and human figures. The landscapes, real, semi-abstract or abstract are in all the mediums, oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, graphite or charcoal. Many landscapes are marine in nature, with a strong horizontal line. But a number of works depict houses and trees, and a few have hills.
