This paper examines the policy prescriptions that seek to address the educational backwardness of Muslim minorities in India. In particular, it highlights the flawed focus on madrasa reform in these ...documents and the linearism reflected in policy recommendations on madrasa modernisation.

It argues that policy prescriptions like madrasa modernisation, framed with little understanding of the everyday lives of madrasa students and their families, risk remaining empty phrases.
