Four-fold increase in the number of mosques and madarasas on the Indo-Nepal border in the last two decades

The Intelligence department monitoring the situation, while Security agencies are on alert

Editorial Comments

  • Were the Police, Security and Administration asleep until the number of madarasas and mosques quadrupled ? Why still no action is being taken against them ?
  • Why temples don’t get built on the border ? And if they do, why there is no need to keep an eye on them ? Would the secularists and progressives utter a word !

New Delhi – The number of mosques and madarasas on the Indo-Nepal border has quadrupled in the last 20 years. As a result, the intelligence agencies and the Police are on high alert and keeping a close watch on these mosques and madarasas. They are highly cautious about any anti-national activity in the area and investigation of these mosques and madarasas has also started.

597 madarasas are bordering the Siddharthnagar District. Of these, 452 are registered, while 145 madarasas have no registration. It is being investigated as to who is running these unregistered madarasas and how ? Who is funding them ?. It is feared that these madarasas are getting money from Dubai and Gulf Countries. Till 1990, there were only 16 recognised madarassas. In the year 2000, their number increased to 147. Of these, only 45 madarasas were recognised.

District Minority Welfare Officer Tanmay Kumar said that anyone can open a madarasa. Grants are given to Government recognised madarasas only.

Manoj Kumar, Deputy Commandant, SSB 43rd Brigade, said the madarasas with no records were being monitored and the reports sent to the Government.

In Nepal’s bordering Districts, the Muslim population has doubled, and 400 mosques and madarasas have been built in just two years. According to security experts, this change is not normal and should be closely monitored.
