Hyderabad: Maulana Azad
National Urdu University (MANUU) Vice-Chancellor Mohammad Miyan
Wednesday proposed academic exchange programme between his varsity
and universities of Saudi Arabia.
Addressing a seminar on "Teaching Arabic language in India:
curricula and scope for promotion", he said MANUU with the
approval from the government of India could start exchange
programmes.
Ali Mohd. Al-Shehri, cultural attache at Saudi Arabia's embassy in
New Delhi, responded positively to the idea of academic exchange
between Indian universities offering Arabic courses and their
Saudi counterparts, said a statement.
He identified King Abdullah Centre for Arabic, Riyadh, as an
appropriate institution in Saudi Arabia to take the initiative.
Describing Hyderabad as Centre for Islamic Culture in India, the
Saudi diplomat said that Islam is the underlying force behind the
popular usage of Arabic among Muslims all over the world.
Learning of Arabic is necessary to comprehend Quranic teachings
and Prophet Mohammed's message. Arabic is treated as a "local
language" in the sub-continent, he remarked.
The Saudi diplomat noted that many scholars from this part of the
world are well known in the Arabic literary world, said the
statement.
The government of India is providing Arabic education in 20
central universities through the University Grants Commission.
Zubair Ahmed Farooqui, former head of department of Arabic, Jamia
Millia Islamia, described Arabic as the fifth largest spoken
language in the world.
Not satisfied with the present Arabic teaching system in India,
Farooqui said Arabic students should be prepared keeping in view
the demands and requirements of the prevailing market.
