Read the following passage and answer the question numbers 11 to 15.
Each
day at the Shantiniketan School starts with the Saraswati Vandana. When
painting competitions are held in the school, images of Hindu gods and
goddesses are most common. Sanskrit is a favourite subject of many a student.
Nothing new about it except that the 1,200 - odd students studying in the Hindu
- run school are Muslims.
In 1983, when Ranchodbhai Kiri started Shantiniketan in the all - Muslim
Juhapura area of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, only 20 percent of the students were
Muslims. But when riots involving the Muslims of Juhapura and the Hindus of
nearby Jivrajpark - Vejalpur affected the locality, Hindus started migrating.
Today, all the students are Muslims and the school is an unparalled example of
harmony. In the 2002, when a section of inflamed Muslims wanted the school
closed, the parents of the students stood like a wall behind it.
Shantiniketan's principal says, "We never thought of moving the school out
of the area because of the love and affection of the local Muslims. Indeed,
they value the high standard of education which we have set." Such is the
reputation of the school that some of the local Muslim strongmen accused of
involvement in communal riots are willing to protect the school during the
riots.
The parents of Shantiniketan's students believe that it's the best school when
it comes to the quality of the teaching. A large number of students have gone
for both graduation and post graduation studies. Significantly, the only Muslim
teacher in the 40 - member teaching staff, Husena Mansuri, teaches Sanskrit. In
fact, she is so happy at the school that she recently declined the
principalship of another Muslim - run school.
Some of the students' entries in a recent school painting competition mere
truly moving. One drew a picture of Bharat Mata with a mosque and temple, while
another portrayed a boy tying rakhi to his sister. Trully, Shantiniketan is a
beacon of hope that, despite the provocations from both communities, Hindus and
Muslims can live side-by-side with mutual respect.
