Yeah, it's a political compromise. Not what's best for the students. At most the school could have offered you Urdu instead of Hindi, since it uses a modified Arabic script and has a few Arabic words.

It's still 'Hyderabad', by the way! Thankfully the religious nutcases haven't won elections in that state.

You know, I never thought of it that way, probably would have made the transition back to Arabic easier too, when I moved back to my country.
