Irfan, who aspires to be a Sanskrit teacher, is the only Muslim among the top 20 scores in the classes 10 and 12.
Mohammed Irfan, the UP Sanskrit board exam topper.
Mohammad Irfan, the 17-year-old son of a farm daily wage labourer Salauddin in Uttar Pradesh’s Chandauli district, has scored 82.71% in the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Sanskrit Shiksha Parishad Board’s Uttar Madhyama-II (class 12) examinations.
The board requires Sanskrit language and literature as two compulsory subjects, along with other subjects.
Irfan, who aspires to be a Sanskrit teacher, is the only Muslim among the top 20 scores in classes 10 and 12.
The boy reportedly got admitted to the Sampurnanand Sanskrit Government School because that is the only school his father could afford to send him to. Salauddin earns a mere Rs 300 per day and the school charged Rs 400-500 as an annual fee.
Irfan comes from a devout Muslim family and his father said that they have never stopped the kid from achieving his dreams.
“In junior classes ‘Sanskrit’ was a compulsory subject and it was from there that he developed a liking for the language. He now plans to do Shastri (equivalent to BA) and Acharya (equivalent to MA) and will then look for a job as a Sanskrit teacher,” he said, speaking to The New Indian Express.
Irfan on language- religion connection
“I’m not sure why people associate a language with a religion. A Hindu can be extremely good at learning Urdu, while a Muslim can be very good at studying Sanskrit. I am a graduate who understands the value of education,” Irfan said, addressing media on the question of people connecting certain languages with some religions.

The ongoing Khelo India Youth Games has produced another inspirational and feel-good story. Faith is a great healer, and the adage proved true yet again. Grief-stricken middle-distance runner from Madhya Pradesh, Bushra Khan, nearly quit running last May after her father died in a freak incident.
However, athletics coach SK Prasad encouraged her to move forward in life and gradually build a running tempo.
Bushra Khan’s confidence grew and she clinched gold in the women’s 3,000m race at the Khelo India Youth Games being held in Bhopal, on Saturday, 4 January.
The promising middle-distance runner from Sehore in Madhya Pradesh was all praise for her coach in the post-race interaction.
“I owe it all to my coach, without his support, I couldn’t have clocked a personal best of 10.04.29 seconds in the 3,000m race,” Bushra said.
Bushra Khan played a waiting game in the race. She stayed behind the leading group and surged ahead when there were around 200 meters left to emerge victorious. The youngster had earlier finished second in the 1500m event of the Khelo India Youth Games on Friday.
“In 1500m, I pushed from the finish line too early and paid the prize,” the Madhya Pradesh runner said.
Bushra had to overcome grief to triumph at Khelo India Youth Games
The memories of her late father, who died last year in a freak accident, flashed through her mind after the race. Bushra Khan’s father was the only bread-winner in the family. Being the eldest in the family, she was close to her father, the coach said.
“Her (Bushra’s) father was a daily wage worker in a chemical factory in Sehore and died due to a blast in the factory,” the coach added.
That was eight months ago, but the unfortunate incident still haunts the young athlete.
“I wish my father would have been alive to see me winning,” Bushra said sobbingly.
However, Bushra’s mother and two younger sisters were there at the stadium to see her sweat around the track and get applauded for her hard work.
Six summers ago, Bushra Khan joined the state government-run athletics academy in Bhopal. The gold-winning performance on Saturday, the coach said, will act as a platform to achieve good results in the coming months.
“Despite hardship, she has given a good account of herself. I am confident she will break the 10-minute barrier by May to earn a place in the national team for the Asian Junior Athletics Championships,” the coach added.
Bushra Khan said she has a passion for distance running and is ready to make sacrifices to achieve the targets set by her coach.
“I hope I will not disappoint my coach and all those who supported me during challenging situation in my life,” Bushra added.
The story of this budding talent from Madhya Pradesh is another example of how the Khelo India Youth Games are nurturing talent.

Imtiaz Jalil,MP, Aurangabad was honoured with the ‘15th News makers Achievers Awards 2023’ in the ‘Best Working Politician’ category on May 1st 2023 at Yashwant Rao Chavan Auditorium, Mumbai. Jalil was conferred with the award at the hands of Afternoon Voice’s founder and Editor in Chief Vaidehi Taman.
The award was bestowed to Imtiaz Jalil in recognition of his significant contribution to Indian politics. He is known for his zealous participation and discussions on development issues of various sectors and is praised for raising issues of the common man in the Parliament.
After receiving this recognition, Twocircles.net had a candid conversation with the Lone MP of AIMIM and found out the reasons behind his successful political journey.
TCN:- Tell us a little about your Background and your journey during journalism.Any takeaway from this field?
IJ: I started my career in journalism in 1991 with Lokmat newspaper in Aurangabad.In 2003 I joined NDTV and worked with them for nearly 12 years in Pune. I quit journalism and came back to my home town Aurangabad In 2014.
I have learnt a lot from journalism – working on ground, interacting with people, understanding their problems etc. Furthermore, there was no pressure from NDTV to submit stories. We had the liberty to report and give our 100%. Communal angles were never highlighted by the Channel. NDTV’s selection of news stories were common-man-friendly. A farmer’s suicide story was the main highlight of the day which is difficult to find in today’s era of journalism. Now a days journalists aren’t doing journalism; they have their own political ideologies and commercial interests. Unfortunately, it is the marketing sector that is controlling news organisations today.
TCN: –What encouraged you to join politics?
IJ: When I came back to my city, assembly polls were around the corner, and everyone was discussing politics. NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) was keen to field a Muslim candidate from my constituency. And I was thinking, why not?
With the Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde ( Image source: FB of Imtiaz Jalil)
TCN:-What made you choose AIMIM?
IJ:-Muslim representation in the Assembly and Muslim political leadership is a highly debated topic. Congress and NCP were the big political parties that were famous among Muslims but Muslims started realising gradually that they are being taken for granted. After assessing the situation I decided to choose AIMIM and jumped in the ring with the aim to uplift the Muslim community and Alhamdulillah (thanks to god) I’ve been doing well.
TCN:-What do you attribute your success and popularity to?
IJ:- Allah. I always have had a strong faith and connection with Allah. I used to offer Istakhara too. Allah has been very kind to me because I reached this position without money or muscle power. Alhamdulillah.I am also grateful to people of Aurangabad.
TCN:-What does the award of Best MP of the year mean to you?
IJ:-I was elected as a MLA in 2014 by the people of Aurangabad. I was committed to work for them and give my best. Once again in 2019 my people have sent me to Lok sabha.It was fascinating to see the love and the trust my people had in me. I just had to reciprocate that love.
This is the Best award that I have ever got. It definitely makes me happy more so because an organisation from a different region took note of my contribution and felicitated me.
TCN:-Where do you get inspiration from to do public service?
IJ:– My mother, Mrs. Zakiya. She helped me and inspired me to work for others.
TCN: –Any Specific schemes or projects you initiated for your constituency?
IJ:- There are many. We run an NGO to empower women and youth under the banner of “Yuva Foundation”. We train women in sewing for free so that they can be self reliant. Till date around 3400 women have completed their training and successfully earning their livelihood. We provided training to the youth who wish to get into police forces. We have ambulance services free of cost.
Image from FB
TCN: – A Hospital project was initiated by you some years back, is it becoming a reality?
IJ: – Yes, within a year, a 200 bedded hospital will be functioning, In sha Allah.
I am against constructing statues, because common man is more in need of health facilities than staring at a statue. Govt was considering a statue project in my city but I opposed this and approached High court and filed a PIL (Public interest litigation) and stopped it.
TCN:-On the scale of 1 to 5, how do you rate your contribution to the development of your constituency and in maintaining peace and brotherhood?
IJ:-You need to ask this question to the people of Aurangabad. I must say that people who don’t like my party’s ideology appreciate my work as well. They praise me openly. Besides this development work, maintaining brotherhood is my topmost priority. Despite all odds, I managed to ensure zero communal incidents, unity and harmony between people of all religions. You can observe or read comments of my Hindu brothers and sisters on social media about me and my work.
I strongly believe that 98% of the people are peace lovers. Feeding his family is the priority of a common man. Troublemakers exists in every community. We must ignore fake social media posts.
With Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM president ( Image source: FB of Imtiaz Jalil)
TCN:-What are your plans for the further development of your constituency?
IJ:– Promoting tourism in my historical city Aurangabad and providing employment to the youth. I have contacted a US based IT company on my own and have completed all the formalities. Very soon we are going to have nearly a thousand youth employed in this IT company.
TCN 9: What is your main learning from Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi, the president of your party?
IJ:– I have learnt a lot from him! Working positively without expectations is a remarkable thing. Asad Sahab moves round the clock tirelessly,continuously establishes contacts with people all over the country. He understands their issues and empowers them on appropriate platforms.
TCN :- Apart from politics, what else interests you? How do you rejuvenate yourself when you are overcome by the workload?
IJ:– I hardly get time for my self. But when I have the time, I listen to music and spend time with my family.
