This is bad news for Muslims in India regardless of demographic changes that favor Muslims. The madrassas are the foundation that builds respect for the religion at an early age, and they begin the training of the religious clergy that over their lifetime guide the more mainstream elements of Muslim society toward the right path.
What's regrettable is that there is no talk of reform of madrassas - only a complete shutdown. This is because the BJP knows that the curriculum of madrassas is not offensive or communal. Even peaceful expression and preservation of Muslim culture is not acceptable to a deeply Hindutva government.
