Read the following passage and answer the question numbers 11 to 15.
Each day at the Shantiniketan School starts with the Saraswati V andana. Whe
n
p
a
inting competitions are held in the school, images of Hindu gods an
d g
oddesses are most common. Sanskrit is a favourite subject of many a student.
N o
thing new about it except that the 1,200 - odd students studying in the Hind
u -
 run school are Muslims.
 
In 1983, when Ranchodbhai Kiri started Shantiniketan in the all - Musli
m J
uhapura area of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, only 20 percent of the students were
Muslims. But when riots involving the Muslims of Juhapura and the Hindus o
f n
earby Jivrajpark - V ejalpur affected the locality, Hindus started migrating.
Today, all the students are Muslims and the school is an unparalled example o
f h
armony. In the 2002, when a section of inflamed Muslims wanted the school
closed, the parents of the students stood like a wall behind it.
 
Shantiniketan's principal says, "W e never thought of moving the school out o
f t
he area because of the love and affection of the local Muslims. Indeed, the
y v
alue the high standard of education which we have set." Such is the reputatio
n o
f the school that some of the local Muslim strongmen accused of involvemen
t i
n communal riots are willing to protect the school during the riots.
 
The parents of Shantiniketan's students believe that it's the best school when i
t c
omes to the quality of the teaching. A large number of students have gone for
b o
th graduation and post graduation studies. Significantly, the only Musli
m t
eacher in the 40 - member teaching staff, Husena Mansuri, teaches Sanskrit. I
n f
act, she is so happy at the school that she recently declined the principalship
of another Muslim - run school.
 
Some of the students' entries in a recent school painting competition mere trul
y m
oving. One drew a picture of Bharat Mata with a mosque and temple, while
another portrayed a boy tying rakhi to his sister. Trully, Shantiniketan is a
