Communal thinking


It is shocking that the primary students of Bluebird High School in Sylhet are divided into two categories-- Hindu and Muslim. Just imagine they divided the students on the basis of religion! It is a very sensitive matter, because from the primary level they are thinking in terms of religious community. After returning home they ask-- are Muslims good? They eat beef . "I have a Muslim friend- is it right? I never play with them, should I go to a Muslim friend's home?" -All these are in their minds. They are mentally divided from the beginning and after passing from school they cannot grow up as liberal citizens.

They could make sections by odd or even roll numbers or any other scale, but why religion?

Please look into the matter and publish a report on it.
