Markazul Maarif, a Crawford Market-based institute which coaches clerics in the English language and literature, has shown interest in guiding students appearing for the civil services exams. “Before Dr Qasmi showed us the way, we didn’t even think that this could be possible. Now madrasa students have another avenue to aim for,’’ said Markazul Maarif ’s director Maulana Burhanuddin.
Coming from a poor family in Siddharth Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, Dr Qasmi did “fazilat’’ (post-graduation) from Darul Uloom Deoband located there. As his madrasa degree didn’t make him eligible for the civil services exams, he did his BA in Unani Medicine and Surgery from Hamdard University in Delhi. He later completed his MD from Aligarh Muslim University and in, the fourth and last attempt, cracked the IAS exams last year.
Dr Qasmi’s success is being hailed as an example worth emulating. Now, instead of finding excuses, mostly imaginary, the clerics have closed ranks to kick off a programme which will encourage more Muslim students to try for the civil services.
