Here in Dubai, we have this Indian business group called Varkey Group, who started a chain of schools managed by its GEMS division (Global Education Management Systems). I think they also run schools in India. Anyway, the schools here largely serve the Indian community. The curriculum is follows that of India, but is accredited by the Ministry of Education in the UAE. If Muslim businessmen fellow the example of this group, they could start a chain of schools in India that cater to the Muslim community, and at the same time, receive accreditation from the authorities in India.
I don't have that much money yet, but when I do insha'Allah, I'll do something like that.

i dont understand one thing about the gulf. why are there seperate schools for non-citizens, i.e. the foreign guest workers. here in the u.s. even the illegal mexican kids can attend our public schools free of charge. segregation like that is illegal in this country, and has been since the 1950's and the civil rights marches to de-segregate schools.
