Mohammad Irfan, who desires to become a Sanskrit teacher, has outperformed 13000 competitors as the sole Muslim student.
Despite financial constraints of the family, Irfan has always been encouraged “to pursue his aspirations without any hindrance”, Muslim Mirror says.
The talented and religiously devout Muslim boy says that studying a language has nothing do to with one’s faith.
“A Hindu can be extremely good at learning Urdu, while a Muslim can be very good at studying Sanskrit,” he adds.

It should be mentioned that Sanskrit is an ancient and classical language of India.
