Times of India giving undue advantage to Deoband

M/S Times of India, next time when you have any news wherein Deoband seminary is also involved, don't project Deoband as supreme authority of Indian Muslims. Deoband seminary's opinion/ diktats should never be taken as sole official opinion about Islam or Indian Muslims. These give rise to sectarian tension, Times of India please avoid projecting Deoband as sole voice of Muslims in India, TOI paper usually suffixes Asia's largest seminary and other titles to Deoband, which is not appropriate.

Muslims in India are divided among various jurisprudential schools major among those are:

1. Hanafi Sunni Bareillvi
2. Hanafi Sunni Deobandi
3. Shafai Sunni  Bareillvi
4. Shafai Sunni Deobandi
5. Shia
6. Ahlul Hadith
7. Bohra (with various groups among them)

Each has its own opinion, Deoband's diktats apply only to Hanafi Sunni and Shafai Sunni that too if they are not Bareillvi. Thus to project Deoband as supreme sole authority of Muslims in India is a stupidity. TOI's executives please educate yourself in this regards. Being Asia's largest seminary gives no credit to Deoband to project itself as voice of Islam or Muslims in India. 

TOI refrain from giving undue advantage to Deoband by project it as whole and sole authority, since TOI is widely read newspaper in India, it may unknowingly spread notion that Deonband's diktats are what Islam is all about. Which may create sectarian tensions as well. Deoband has always kept itself around controversy  Deoband's muftis frequently issue fatwa (verdict) which appears controversial, this they do to remain in limelight, TOI is unknowingly giving them the footage they are craving for.
