Sir: The true spirit of seeking knowledge from cradle to grave is being practiced by every nation but not Muslims. Here, I will quote only one example of an educational institution of UK called Eton. Someone has rightly commented that Eton is the school that runs Britain. This school has been a breeding ground for UK leadership since long. The power of an educational institution can be more than one can count. An old Etonian comment holds great truth that Eton is a very British formula for dominance. So far, 19 students from Eton have risen to the high profile position of British prime ministers. We have to re-examine our belief of the power of education, knowledge at the national level. I extend my sincere best wishes for every schoolgoing child who opts for seeking knowledge in these moments of unprecedented terror, fear and panic.
