Sad state of Indian politics
In India, you can find religious structures right in the middle of a highway or city roads. There are religious places coming up at every nook and corner and usually encroaching government lands. Even then, No one is allowed to touch these illegally constructed structures, come what may. The only way Public works department has is to either re-design to take a detour or forget it. Because if they try to remove this structures, our shamefully peerless politicians will create an issue on communal lines to enhance their votebanks. Whether it is tentamount to breaking the law or strengthening the religious hardline lobbies, uhh...they dont care. They care only about winning next elections..they hardly have any time for the issues of security and integrity of our nation. It's clear that, To save their votebanks, politicians will not even stop from scuttling a debate on any grave issue.
I think that, Whether its a madrasa, mosque, temple or a church, it should be regularised and registered under federal laws. It should be answerable to the nation, on its source of funding and its functions. All institutions have to follow the rules of the land, and it has nothing to do with religious freedom or all that nonsense for that matter. For all the religious institutions, who teach religion, Govt should put in place checks and balances on to monitor their operations and should make it mandatory for them to follow a set curriculam. Because its not just a matter of religion but of nation's future, which is taking shape in there. Rules should also be in place so that if, a religious institution is constructed illegally, govt should take over its control and have every right to even demolish or relocate it, irrespective of whether its a temple or mosque or church. For government, it should not be a madrasa, mosque or a temple but, just an illegally run and constructed building, which has to go. For a king, all his subjects should be equal, no matter they are hindu or muslim. But alas! No one has the will to do it.
