Im not Indian but im guessing the reasons are the same in Pakistan, the youth are becoming very westernised, to the point where now even in their own country's they are speaking the language of the west to one another.

They probably look upon Maulanas as being backward villager types so they can't connect with them. It may help to get a few well english spoken ulemah to deliever lectures specifically directed at the youth in a manner that is effective. I think there is a darululoom in Pakistan Jamia al raheem i think, they have english as part of their syllabus. Here in the west the gap has decreased due to the younger maulanas who talk to the youth in a language they understand and give them examples from real life. the youth can relate to them more

wallahu alam

Thats much true. The partition between school and Madrassah took place almost some 130 years back when Sayyid Ahmed khan under certain influences set up the 'Muhammadan anglo oriental college' (Now known as Aligarh university) and the religious scholars of almost all the factions (except for those of Nadwa somewhat) of that era , as a reaction said goodbye to the worldly education. Both these discourses became alien to each other than. Either one had to be a mister or a Mawlvi. The college of Sayyid Ahmed khan has turned into the wide network of school/colleges/universities and the madrassahs have increased in the number as well.But since science has a huge grip on the popular imagination , people have been more interested in sending their kids to schools.

Various universities of Pakistan used to serve as nurseries for socialists and communist as the wave of these two doctrines was in fashion during the early days of Pakistan.The pulpit of classroom was left vacant for the communist professors to preach their inner beliefs.The phenomena has turned into scientific secularism/liberalism now. The induction of internet , new age culture and a specific hatred for 'maulvi' has deepened it. With all this happening in its very neighborhood , the pulpits of masjid and Madrassah has been busy in futile efforts to exterminate fellow sects , even in that they have been unsuccessful. While many like me have been the casualties of war .
