The objection is that this is wrong in principle. In any multi religious society, if people start playing favourites based on religion, how will there ever be assimilation and unity? This system institutionalises discrimination.
That will be the exact argument Muslims will use to start their madrassahs.

Besides, these colleges take taxpayer / State grants . . . I am against this in principle

As near as I can make out, your position that is that it should be illegal to have a Christian seminary anywhere in India?

Except that a seminary doesn't dip its paws into public funds, and does not have a bar on who are allowed into it as members. I'm sure a seminary would accept a Muslim into its fold, if a Muslim so desired to join it.

A seminary is different. Its a religious institution.
A educational insitution that teaches a non-religious course of study is what we are talking about here.
