Early morning a young Muslim cried during prayers in the Jamia Ishaatu Uloom, a madrassa in Akkalkuwa, Maharashtra, India, March 19, 2011. The president of the madrassa, Mullah Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi, has been criticized by other Muslim clerics for his relatively progressive views. Vastanvi has spent the last decade bridging the divide between traditional and ÒmodernÓ education for Muslims. He has recently been named rector of the most influential orthodox Islamic schools, Dar ul-Uloom in the city of Deoband, and is now in a struggle about the school's future course.
