Sir, I would like to have clarification with regard to one point. The clause states “No person attending any school.” In the beginning Mr.Dhulekar suggested to replace the word “school” by “educational institution.” As I understand it, the word “school” is used in a wider sense implying any class of institution where education is provided, but if it is the idea that we are going to exclude colleges, for instances, which are in one way schools where education is given, then I think what it would lead to is that in schools which are aided by Government you cannot make religious instruction compulsory, but in colleges, if we use the word ‘school’ in its restricted sense, you can make it compulsory. I know of some colleges in the city of Bombay where some time back this religious instruction was compulsory. So I hope the Honourable Mover will clarify this point when replying.
