c18.s3.12

Aurangzib took steps to educate the Bohras of Gujrāt by appointing teachers for them and by monthly examinations, the results of which were reported to the Emperor. As a penalty, however, for the troublesome conduct of some of them, the Emperor ordered that the expense of their education, which was made compulsory, should be borne by the community.² Besides the college of Akra-muddīn Khān Ṣadr, there were other madrasahs established by private individuals. Qāẓī Rafī'uddīn Muḥammad founded a college in Biānāh close to Qāẓīun-ki-Masjid. It bears an inscription dated 1080 A.H. (1670 A.D.).³
