Praiseworthy

Sir, — Kudos to Jyoti Punwani's "Changing face of Pune schools" ( (Aug. 22) ), highlighting the success story of a Muslim girl from a Pune slum. The Muslim community, which is caught in a vicious circle of illiteracy and backwardness, needs more people like P.A. Inamdar.

Sir, — Those who are running minority educational institutions must learn a lesson from Mr. Inamdar. I am thankful to Ms. Punwani for bringing such a person to light.

Sir, — There must be many like Mr. Inamdar who are working for the emancipation of the poor without any publicity. By providing one such person a platform, The Hindu has done a commendable job.

Sir, — Hats off to Mr. Inamdar for dedicating his life to a cause. And my salutation to Ms. Punwani for her brilliant portrayal of the movement. The results are yet another proof of how strong will power can change the deepest paradigms of a society.

Sir, — It is heartening to read about the achievements of the Anglo Urdu High School. The contribution and cooperation of local Hindus is equally noteworthy.

Sir, — I wish to share the information that Maryam Ahmad, a middle-class girl from Pune, topped the Pune zone with 95.6 per cent marks in ICSE-2003 exams and bagged a rank at the all-India level.
