Minister Highlights Need for Community Guidance Amid Muslim Girls' Changing Aspirations
Keralam Local Self-Government Minister K.M. Shaji highlighted concerns about community organisations' ability to guide Muslim girls amid their rapid social and educational progress. Speaking at a seminar at Calicut University, he noted that despite advances, many organisations remain rigid and have not effectively supported these girls, who are increasingly influenced by atheist ideas. The seminar also featured discussions on development perspectives, including a call to view progress through Mahatma Gandhi's lens rather than capitalism.
