It also addresses issues of identity, 'secular' education and gender in this context, while exploring the myths that surround these institutions. Amongst other things, it interrogates why Muslim communities prefer sending their sons to government schools to receive a secular education, while the daughters are sent to madrasas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nilanjana Gupta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415544599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415544597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Nilanjana Gupta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136097595647,"sku":"9780415544597","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdea62b8-f4b2-4e9f-92b0-a1984e839a49.jpg?v=1770160492","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-with-allah-nilanjana-gupta-9780415544597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
