Question

Anjuman-I Nusratul Islam has lighted the torch of education
for more than one century in the State. Discuss​

Answer 1

.In 1891 a British missionary, Tyndale Biscoe, joined Kashmir's first British-run school imparting modern education to local students. The 250 students in the ten-year-old school were Brahmins who refused to play football, for touching leather would render them unholy. The Muslims refused to join; secular education, they feared, would turn them into infidels.

Biscoe did not budge. His Brahmins played football and rowed 'like low-caste boatmen.' Later, Muslim students followed and did not turn into infidels. Another man, very different man from Biscoe in his education, race, and world view, refuted the dogmas that were preventing the spread of modern education.
