Major General Subhash Sharan visited the prestigious Islamic seminary Darul Uloom at Deoband in Uttar Pradesh. This is the first time in its 150-year history that the seminary witnessed a visit from a top Army officer. Major General Subhash Sharan, who was ADG (UP & Uttarakhand) urged the students of Darul Uloom students to join the forces.
The major general visited Darul Uloom on Saturday evening and met its chief Maulana Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani. Maulana Nomani apprised him of the rich cultural history of the seminary. Major general told the students that after passing out from the seminary, they could join the forces as ‘maulvis’.
According to Deccan Herald, the Army official presented a copy of the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ to Maulana Nomani, who in turn gave the former a book containing the history of Darul Uloom.
Darul Uloom was established in 1866 by Mohammed Qasim Nanautavi at Deoband in UP’s Saharanpur district.
