Self-imposed Seclusion
The self-imposed seclusion by the Madrasas helps in putting a kind of veil around these institutions spread all over the country. This leads to suspicion and mistrust. One more reason for this behaviour is that people who manage the institutions fear that outsiders may interfere in their affairs. Questions may be raised regarding the management and utilization of funds received by the Madrasas. For example, leaving aside a few of these institutions, it is common practice that the managers and teachers do not share food with students in the Madrasas. Reason is that the students are served inferior quality food. Also, in large numbers of these Madrasas entire families of the managers and/or teachers stay in the Madrasas. Also, their expenses are borne by the Madrasa fund. A third reason is that almost all Madrasas impart only religious education. So, they do not appoint any one as teacher who is educated in colleges, university During the past few years Madrasas (the seminaries where education related to Islam is imparted) have been in focus. One obvious reason is that the number of Madrasas is growing all over the country. But a more important reason is that the Madrasas are almost totally isolated from India’s mainstream society. Etc.
