Merits and demerits of islamic education in india

1.	Merits and demerits of islamic education in india
Answer» The TRADITIONAL system of education available in INDIA during the pre- British days, INDEED, failed to widen the mental horizon of the learners. The education imparted in the tols-pathsalas and maktabs- madrassas could neither inculcate individuality nor a RATIONAL outlook among the young learners. In fact, education in the pre- British days made the Hindu and the Muslim pupils the uncritical subscribers to their respective religion. Despite these limitations it has been admitted on all hands that there had been a general inclination for education in those days. Besides, a very large section of population used to receive vernacular education in a good number of elementary schools spread all over the country. Under the Company's rule this indigenous elementary education SUFFERED a decline.
