This study focused on improving English language curriculum in Indian madrasas for empowering the students of madrasas with English language skills. The findings showed that in comparison with modern or secular schools the madrasas are following the same traditional syllabi. So madrasa students fail to find better opportunities because of lack of English language skills. English language syllabus need to be redesigned so as to give an inclusive outlook to the madrasa curriculum. While English seems an optional subject for them, yet the importance of English language for madrasa students in modern teaching method cannot be undermined. Therefore, after making a review this paper showed certain aspects of English language syllabus that can be introduced with modern teaching methods in madrasa education so that they can brought at par with mainstream and this minor part of Indian students can promote themselves for inclusive growth with the skills of English language.
