Excellent Example For Indian Communal Harmony!

By Staff

Kamlesh Pathak
When many Hindus and Muslims keep hostility to each other's communities, a woman in Gwalior is setting an excellent example for communal harmony. Kamlesh Pathak is running a madrasa, an Islamic school, to educate Muslim children belonging to downtrodden or poor families.Today, this madrasa being run by Kamlesh Pathak is an edifice of communal harmony and inspires people.

Pathak started this madrasa in 2006 to provide quality education to Muslim children hailing from the economically weaker sections. She aims to educate students with basic skills to move ahead in life. The madrasa imparts lessons in English, Arabic and Urdu.

The Pathak-run madrasa imparts lessons till the fifth grade. There are 65 students enrolled at Kamlesh Pathak's madarsa. She wishes to expand the madrasa and extend its benefits to other children as well.

When people differentiate between Hindus and Muslims, Kamlesh Pathak opened the madrasa with a good effort.

If Hindus and Muslims start living together like this, there will no longer be any differences. At present a total of 418 madrasa are being run in Gwalior by Muslim organisations, including this one being run by a Hindu woman.
