All religious indoctrination of children should be illegal. The concept of a “religious school” is oxymoronic.
It’s obviously discriminatory that in this case it’s just for Muslim schools and not Hindu ones, but religious schools should all be banned, not just in India, but in all countries. They’re just pathetic excuses trying to get around laws to do with schooling, such as the national curriculum, not turning people away because of protected characteristics, etc.

Okay this seems a lot like projecting issues with modern Christian schools on religious schools as a whole.
Edit: I made a weird assumption in my head so let me correct myself: This seems like a uniquely Western problem (or maybe the Middle East is unique for not having it).
Any religious primary school in America has this issue. Religious universities less so but still problematic.
The Hasidic yeshivas in NYC are notorious for this. Out of 27 investigated in an 8 year long probe only 4 passed the minimal requirements.
There were “graduates” who never learned English, had no concept of science, no grasp of any history outside of biblical…
They passed a law in 2022 to require schools to pass minimal standards. There are more than a hundred of these schools in NYC.
It is unclear how effective the law has been.
Oh that’s fair, then let me rephrase: This is an American (or maybe Western as a whole) issue, not something inherent the idea to religious schools themselves. At least as an Egyptian I’ve never heard of anything like this.
Much like America isn’t exceptional, neither is christianity, nor are christian schools compared to any other religious school.
I hate religion, but they should be outlawed universally or not at all. Persecution is wrong.
Good, religion doesn’t belong in schools
Real “cultural genocide” is when your schools have specific halal canteens in the dining hall.
Freedom and democracy is when you outlaw Islamic schools.
You’re a bigot.
Bigoted against freedom and democracy
Seems like OP is critiquing “democracy” for its ability to protect “freedoms.”
Democracy is many things, but an automatic defense of cults and child abuse it is not.
Using liberal democracy to defend religious indoctrination is like using feminism to defend stoning. Which, btw, is also happening as a consequence of religion.
