DAR AL HARB - INDIA: UNEDUCATED & BACKWARD INDIAN MOSLEMAH'S ARE THE REASON FOR THE BACKWARD UMMAH IN INDIA

Educate women, Advani tells Muslim community

Pune, June 14: Educational backwardness of Indian Muslim women was the main reason behind stifled progress of the community as a whole, senior BJP leader L K Advani said.
