    I am sure it was some misunderstanding happened either by students narrating at home,or some activists.I remember during my School times in a Govt.school,on friday evening all hindu stundents were offering Bhajana,in the last class,we christians were in a class lerned bible by a catholic teacher.Other muslims were going home.(Hardly any)But it was compulsory .Ifound it ok as a part of Religion class.Thatswhy dont make it a big Drama when it is a Religion class is.only shouldnt make it as compulsary to all who doesnt want.

    SRS pls do not interfere with smooth running of schools it is none of your business. If you are so concerned you may start few schools of your own since you have manpower as well as money, use it as a good resource.

    Mr. Alphoso, nobody is forcing language on students. If students and their parents have no objection, what is causing allergy to illiterate goons ? Can you give me a reason why Christian Schools should not teach these languages ? If any child or their parents have itching for these languages, they are free to join any govt. schools. I salute Christian Schools for their service.

    Every school has the right to teach any language, provided there are students to study. I suggest that Christian schools should teach Hebrew also besides Arabic since Christians are given priority for employment in Israel. And very soon there will be an Israeli Consulate in Bangalore.

    For your kind information and knowledge regular classes starts at 10 AM. These Arabic classes every Saturday from 9:15 to 10.

    S of course english is foreign language..but derived from sanskrit..a mother language.
    It won't doing any harm in the world in the name of religion.
    We won't mind..if people will learn other languages as far it won't affect others. Latter on they demand to make it compulsory to introduce as more speaking persons..in the country.

    @Dev Kumar, Spew all the venoms from your body, write one full page comments and post here, instead of posting the one line comments on installment basis. If Muthalik's all 100 cases cleared good news for you. But tell him to roam alone without body guards on the streets of Mangalore if he have the guts. Then the public will handle him very well because many people hurted by him.
