Dilip Ghosh Advocates for Mandatory Vande Mataram Singing in Schools and Madrasas in Bengal

The Directorate of Madrasah Education has issued an order mandating that the national song be sung in all madrasahs across the state. This directive follows the recent decision by the state government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which established the requirement for the national song to be sung in educational institutions statewide.

The initiative aims to promote national pride and unity among students. In the context of India’s diverse educational landscape, the policy underscores the governments efforts to ensure that national identity is cultivated from an early age across all types of schools, including madrasahs, which traditionally focus on Islamic education.

School authorities are expected to comply with this directive, and it remains to be seen how this policy will be received by various communities and educational institutions within the state.
