Kaab Rashidi, legal advisor to Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (Uttar Pradesh), launched 'The Indian Constitution: An Ideological Study (Bhartiya Samvidhan: Ek Vaicharik Adhyayan)' in Lucknow on May 9, 2026 , and said he will campaign for madrassa curriculum reform across 15 states .

Rashidi announced the plan at a press conference and said the book is designed to teach madrassa students their legal and constitutional rights and duties. The text covers Constitution basics, several laws and major court verdicts to help students become socially conscious citizens.

Madrassa curriculum reform: What the new book contains

The work is being published as five volumes , with an additional four volumes scheduled for publication, Rashidi said. It aims to explain the Constitution, notable laws and landmark judgments in language suitable for madrassa learners.

Rashidi described the book as intended to inspire students by explaining how earlier generations served the nation and to encourage contribution to India’s development. The launch statement highlighted the educational objective rather than classroom methods or detailed syllabi.

Madrassa curriculum reform: Inclusion plan and rollout

Rashidi said he will approach state-level madrassa education councils to seek formal inclusion of the book in curricula. The campaign will target inclusion starting from the Saum grade, a level the launch described as roughly equivalent to 10+2 (intermediate) .

To widen reach, the book is slated for translation into 10 Indian languages , Rashidi added. He did not provide exact translation timelines or distribution schedules during the launch.

The launch took place at a Lucknow press conference where Rashidi called the book the "beginning of the madrassa reform process." He emphasised making madrassa students aware of their rights, duties and the legal framework that governs citizenship.

No publisher name, ISBN, price or detailed distribution plan were disclosed at the event. The launch statement also did not include author credits beyond Rashidi’s role as the legal advisor promoting the work.

Officials in state madrassa education councils will be the next points of contact if the campaign proceeds. Students and madrassa administrators interested in adoption will likely wait for council approvals and any formal curriculum committees to examine the volumes for classroom use.

Further publication dates, classroom integration guidelines and endorsements were not announced at the launch.
