Misunderstood Muslims?

Muslims are the most misunderstood community in India.

Do you agree?
They are usually projected as backward-looking.
The common concept is that each man has four wives.
They are thought to be conservative.

I have taught mass media for many years in one of Bihar’s leading women’s colleges.
In every class of 35 students there are at least seven to eight Muslim girls.
They are as good and as competitive as any other student.
Their parents don’t seem to be ultra-conservative, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing Mass Media!
