I presume that the word "madrasas" is well known to the people from India. However, I'm not sure what Pakistani madrasas are?

Can anyone help, nobody in my trailer park knows who (or what) they are.

Madras is the name of a City in India and I don't think it has any meaning.
Madrasa in Arabic(?) means "Islamic school". Taliban means "student", referring to the graduates from these Madrasas in Pakistan.
End of lesson!
