measures recommended for the benefit of the Musalmans by the Commission have long been
adopted in this province, and the result is that in our schools their proportion is larger than
that of Hindus. Thus while the percentage of Hindu scholars to the Hindu population is only
]-01, that of Muhammadan pupils is 2’18.
I shall now make remarks on the recommendations regarding Muhammadan education
made in page 519 of the Report.
(1) — (4.) The measures recommended in (1)-—(4) have been adopted in the province.
(5.) I have already made recommendations in this matter, and I am going to propose
the addition of Marathi as a voluntary subject in the revised standards for
Hindustani schools, which are to be submitted for the Resident's sanction.
(6) and (7). Proposals on this subject have been submitted—vide my letter No. 3797,
dated 28th February 1884.
(8.) As stated above, special scholarships for Muhammadans have been established in
Berar. For some years Muhammadan pupils are hardly likely to pass the matri-
culation examination; but when they do University scholarships should be pre-
ferentially conferred on them.
(9) . There are no free studentships in Berar. But proposals on the lines of this recom-
mendation will be submitted when revised rates of fees are proposed in accord-
ance with the orders of the Resident.
(10) and (11.) .There are no educational endowments for the benefit of Muhammadans
in the province.
(12.) There are Muhammadan classes in the Akola Training College.
(13.) This is done in Berar.
(14.) There is one Muhammadan Inspector, and he is for the present sufficient for the
wants of this small province, as there are only 86 Hindustani schools (including
private institutions) in Berar.
(15.) There are no associations for the promotion of Muhammadan education in the
province.
(16.) This is done in the province.
(17.) This is for the consideration of the Resident.
(18.) There are no races in Berar with antecedents similar to those of the Muhammadans.
Para. 14. In the recommendation of the Commission in regard to Muhammadan education
Remarks by the Commissioner, Hy- 1 a[so mostly concur. It will be seen from the Director's
above** Assl8ne<i Dlstllcts> 011 tllc repOrt that many of the suggestions have already been
adopted and others are in contemplation.
It is, however, in my opinion very necessary that particular discrimination should be
exercised in carrying out these special measures of liberality towards a particular class, so that
others may not be unduly burdened for their advantage. The taxation of the general com-
munity for the special benefit of one class is, as a dissenting member of the Commission
remarks, clearly unjustifiable.
