<b>Only Christian faith schools are acceptable: Amartya Sen</b> http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/arti...820265.cms
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->LONDON: Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen has attacked the Tony Blair government for encouraging a society in which ethnic minorities were defined almost exclusively by their religion and for allegedly endorsing establishment of faith schools. He also said that faith schools, barring those run by Christians, should be scrapped.

It means in Indian only have Hindu school but No, here he say
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In the interview, Sen said, "Christian schools have evolved and often provide a much more tolerant atmosphere than a purely religious school would. A lot of people in the Middle East or India or elsewhere have been educated in Christian schools. A lot of my friends came from St Xavier's in Kolkata- I don't think they were indoctrinated particularly in Christianity." But the new generation of faith schools "are not going to be like that," he added.
