Let me explain, I don't have any problem with Pakistan being an Islamic country.
But I do distrust, and not encourage role of any religion in Indian politics or government.
Many of the Indian backward thinking comes from Indian religions. Hindus = superstitons
Muslims= intimidating their own women to not to go to higher studies etc.
What India needs is a rationalist bend to it's society.
u may keep yr believes upto Indian government etc........But the Muslims have our own social moral values and r liked when others interfere in them. BTW have u even tried to find out why Muslims stop their women for higher studies which r mostly studies in universities?? Its because of the illicit mingling of sexes in yr universities let me quote an example i was reading abt a Mumbai university and it claimed that abt 90% women who join the university r no more virgins when they leave or graduate from university. I dont remember the source nor the university's name as it was long back.
Now Muslims collectively r strickly against this type of 'mingling' that u call ''jungle main mangal'' in this case university main mangal. If yr government is really people Friendly and Secular then it should adress this issue by not influencing the muslims and attacking our moral/social values but to find a way in women specific educational or Company solutions. There r hindu families too who dont allow in fear of them mentioned above as well and so r sikh,jain even christian families in yr country so its not a muslim specific but yes more hardcore with in Muslims then others.
Now to find a Solution here r few suggestions;
1. We here in Pak also faced this problem so we started to build Women Colleges, Schools etc etc. It was difficult for us to sustain a women specific universities so we started this university in 60s
Allama Iqbal Open University this is a very good university and is internationally recognized institution with a valid degree. It runs classes that u can do from homes so the women who r feared to go in universities can now study from their own homes its for both men and women and it even gives degrees in masters, bachelors and even Ph D in various subjects and also we have a new which can a decade or two ago called Virtual University who offeres education through internet and online means. Their lecture when its scheduled come on its website or is mailed to the pupil and they can get the lecture through video calls and if u miss then there is a Virtual university's TV channel in local cabel TVs where they keep on broad casting the lectures again and again to facilitate the students and it also has both male and female.This was started by Gen musharaf as he focused more on education and encouraged the intellectuals more and more on introducing the more practical and easy ways to get education for men and women by respecting their privacy. Now any Tom Dick and Harry and get education from this Robust and creative solution then attacking someone's moral/cultural values. The VU(virtual university) system is so good that many non Pak residents r also getting education from this system as they can always purchase a Dish and open VU's website.....its kind of like utube with online streaming and other uploaded videos can also be viewed in this case lectures.
2. If u still wish to see them in universities hen follow the example of Iran's Fatima University. Where there is no co-education even on higher learning.....Its all women University from a maid to faculty all r women. This problem is faced by all the Muslim countries as well so iran has came out with this solution.
I have u the ideas and now its upto u and yr government how creative they r and how much sincere they r with Muslims and in respecting their sensitive values.
We r usually not so emotionally driven people as u can see. If we have problems we have creative solutions too.
So if they aren't...then do I ASSume you are.....since you so aptly are passing judgement, upon the rest, Muslims!
off course im not hiding behind as im also a PDF member and i did mentioned that PDF members r not best examples.
