Should the religion of the school decide the minimum education a child gets?
I am a Hindu.
I still don’t want a Hindu child in a Vedic pathshala or a Muslim child in a madrasa getting a weaker academic education than a child in a regular school.
If the institution’s religion changes the standard, that is not equal education.

@VivekYadavViews The child did not pick the religion of the school. The state still owes that child a usable floor in maths, science, and language. Autonomy of the institution is not a licence to shrink that floor.

Imagine three classrooms:
- Regular school
- Vedic pathshala
- Madrasa
Should all three have to ensure a minimum level of maths, science, language, and basic skills?
Same floor. Every child. Every institution.
If you want an exemption, argue for it for both.
If you want a standard, demand it from both.
Which one are you actually defending?

Two rights are colliding.
A child’s right to education. The autonomy of religious institutions.
Both matter.
The child did not choose the institution’s religion. That institution can still decide how little academic education they receive and therefore shape their future.
Religious teaching can stay. A weaker academic floor should not.

The RTE Act promised every child aged 6–14 free and compulsory education.
Section 1(5), inserted in 2012, then said the Act does not apply to madrasas, Vedic pathshalas, and institutions primarily imparting religious instruction.
Same age. Same country. Different floor, depending on the institution.
The Supreme Court is examining whether that exemption can stand.

CJP + DUSU: Can a Gen-Z movement finally break the ABVP–NSUI duopoly?
For decades, Delhi University student politics has been dominated by BJP-backed ABVP and Congress-backed NSUI.
Now a new Gen-Z movement is trying to enter that space.
Can CJP turn viral anger into actual votes on 18th September?
See my take👇
@VivekYadavViews DUSU has been ABVP vs NSUI for decades. CJP is not contesting the panel — it wants to decide who students back.
If that works even partly, student politics in India changes. If it doesn’t, this stays a Jantar Mantar story. 18 Sept decides.
