Deoband portrayed in negative light,Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind

The Tamil Nadu unit of a prominent Islamic scholars organisation has taken exception to contents of a 10th standard social science textbook that said the 19th century Deoband movement had an objective to "encourage spirit of Jihad."
Unit 5 of the textbook says, "Deoband was a revivalist movement organised by the orthodox Muslim Ulema with the twin objectives of propagating the pure teachings of the Quran... as well as encouraging the spirit of Jihad against the foreign and un-Islamic elements..."
Alleging that similar instances had happened earlier, Kashifi said, "We do not know how they are getting such big words particularly when there are many checks done before publishing a text book."
