Seeing the mote in India’s eye while ignoring the beam in Pakistan’s. [Dawn] Moslems students say they face hate inside the classroom, both from peers and, even more troublingly, from teachers.
Last week when the video of a Moslem student confronting his teacher at Manipal University in Karnataka went viral, it triggered an unpleasant memory in the mind of 21-year-old Humza Siddique.
In the video, which sparked a massive uproar on social media, a young engineering student berates his teacher, telling him that it was not funny to crack jokes about his religious identity. The teacher had compared his Moslem student to Ajmal Kasab, the Pak terrorist who had attacked Mumbai in 2008. |
