Literatureis a reflection of society, culture and age. It is an
exponent of social Creativity, an expression of most intimate social
consciousness. It is born in the society, it lives with the society and it
continues, survtves and perishes with the society. SOCiety and
literature thus remain inseparable. Indian literature in English has
expressed the socio-political condition ever since its birth. It has
recorded the phases, the stories, the incidents, the narratives and the
accounts of everything that India divided and undivided has
witnessed. Be it the struggle for independence, the leader following,
the protest and revolts in Raja Rao's Kanthapura and other
autobiographies and biographies, be it the national awakening, the
spirit that pines for independence in the novels of Nayantara
Sehgal. Mulk Raj Anand, Prem Chand, Khushwant Singh, in the
poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Sahir Ludhianwi, Amrita Pritam and
in the short stories of Chughtai and Manto, literature has never
failed to reproduce lives. M. K. Naik rightly goes to the extent of
saying that the real Indian fiction in English started only with the
upsurge of nationalism and revolt against the foreign rule around
1930. The movement took two directions one naturally violent
and another ideologically non-violent. Since the Indian novel in
English was born before independence, the politics of the freedom
movement plays an integral part in the genre's development.

- Problems and Prospects of Language Teaching in the Classrooms of Deeni Madaris with Special Reference to English Language Download PDF
The word 'madrasa' is derived from the Arabic word darsun
meaning 'a lesson'. In contemporary Arabic, madrasa means
centre of learning'. The madrassa connotes a school, usually
referring to an educational institution offering instruction in
Islamic subjects including the translation and interpretation
of the Quran, sayings and deeds (Hadith and Sunnah) of the
Prophet Mohammad (may peace be upon him), Islamic
jurisprudence, etc. In madaris languages are not taught for
their intrinsic worth but because they aid religious learning
or may be necessary for a religious scholar. For this purpose
Arabic, of course, occupies the centre stage. Persian, which
was socially and academically necessary for Muslims in
India, still forms part of the curriculum. Urdu is generally the
medium of instruction in majority of the deeni madaris.
