Zehra is my youngest granddaughter she turned 4 this month during the pandemic she and her mother had left our city to their hometown so they failed to register her for school admission online .
I tried through every source possible I met the principal a nun of a convent school where my daughter had studied this representative of Jesus Christ and Mother Mary was downright rude and inhospitable I don't know if my wife's burkha or hijab got on her goat I had documented the same nun order feeding the poor during the pandemic I have stood by the Christian community supported them through the demolition of their Crosses but when I told her she told me it does not interest her really bad outsourcing of nuns by their order I hope the Vatican takes note funny thing is almost 60 percent of students are Muslims in convent schools .
However I did not give up hope I contacted Shiv Sena Yuva member friend Mr Rahul Kanal finally got her admitted to another school...In some schools I am told you have to pay hefty donations to get admission.
A Catholic friend too tried to help me but to no avail our Bandra local representative also did not help ...I could have got help on Twitter but I moved out last November...I wanted to complain to the Arch Diocese but I let it go I don't want to end up playing the victim card my sons my daughter'my other granddaughter s studied in a convent school.
Sadly our rich Muslims only build Madrasas instead of mainstream schools that could help poor Muslim students .
However in my life I would never vote for a Muslim party or send my wards to a Muslim school.
For me Jesus came into my life as a five year old in a Methodist Church later years in Holy Name High School affiliated to the Wodehouse Road Cathedral.
For my young granddaughter s admission even my so called Catholic friend Jesuit priest could not help me .
This is a story of my life and it's ensuing pain.
