Masjid for Babar

May be a masjid for this Babar is in order. Check out: The ‘youngest headmaster in the world’

(FYI, I know Babri Masjid is not a masjid for Babur :-) . As mentioned in the Wikipedia page, there are various versions of who built it and time lines).

Check out the comments below on the BBC page. Some are hoping the Govt will notice Babar Ali’s achievements. That is exactly my fear. May be it is best that the kids are left alone in Babar’s care. Also, I don’t think Babar and his pupil are news to the officials, that they now have to recognize them and step in.

By the time the West Bengal education bureaucracy hires teachers, bribes exchange hands to decide who will go to this god forsaken village, by the time the officially appointed teacher appoints some lesser teacher (and pays a cut out of the official salary), who inturn appoints a sweeper (for a even lesser cut out of the unofficial salary) to teach Babar’s pupils, ……….

I don’t think we need another demolision of something what a Babar has built.
