Constitution and the rights of minorities
Authors
Balkesh Yadav
Abstract
The Indian Constitution grants citizens various rights, one of which is the right to minorities. By guaranteeing the minority's educational rights, the founding fathers of the Constitution attempted to satisfy the minority's hope, aspiration, and longing for land. The objective for establishing the Constitution is stated in the Preamble, and it is to achieve social, economic, and political justice, as well as freedom of thought and worship and equality of status in order to maintain India's unity and integrity. Like a result, the framers of the Indian Constitution included such articles as Fundamental Rights as well as other locations in the Constitution. Minorities' rights are well stated in the Indian Constitution, yet who constitutes a minority is not mentioned elsewhere in the Constitution. As the Supreme Court of India serves as the last interpreter of the Constitution, it has expressed its views on defining the term "minorities" as well as minorities' rights. The goal of this article is to uncover all of the constitutional provisions concerning minorities' rights, as well as the judiciary's response to them.
