Eid-ul-Fitr and HSC exam

I don't know why some of your esteemed readers are trying to defend the fact that, the Educational Authority acted in a very callous way by asking the students to write a compulsory paragraph on Eid-ul-Fitr. It is not the question whether the students (irrespective of religion or gender) would be able to write on this topic or not, but the main issue is that how could they give such a topic which is part of a particular religion?

Obviously they are expressing the bias towards the majority and ignoring the students of other religious faith. I wonder what the same readers would say if they were asked to write on Durga Puja, Christmas or Buddha Purnima in such important exams like S.S.C or H.S.C.
