Madrasas in India came up in the seventh century to impart Islamic (religion) and cultural teachings free of cost. Over the years, the Madrasas developed into educational institutions, playing a vital role in modern Indian history. It has promoted the cultural identity among children from the Muslim community by teaching them religious identity and historical facts, unlike other educational institutes.
