Sarwar, Sultan. "Central Asia: Madrasahs Lead Religious Teaching Revival (Part 4)" Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, August 9, 2005, By Country / Afghanistan section, http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1060537.html.

Sarwar appears to be discussing madrasas in post-Soviet Central Asia from an Afghanistan perspective.  Only interview quotations from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan are represented.  Those from Uzbekistan only discuss the historical legacy of madrasas in the region.  While the article discusses state control of madrasas in Uzbekistan, it lacks a good perspective of the current situation of madrasas throughout contemporary Central Asia (cf. Najibullah).  Here are links to the other parts in this series: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.  Descriptors: 2000s, Afghanistan, e-news, journalism, madrasa, post-Soviet, revival, S, Uzbekistan
