The Indian Constitution recognizes minorities on the basis of:
-
A.
Religion
-
B.
Language
-
C.
Both Religion and Language
-
D.
Caste
Correct Answer:
C. Both Religion and Language
Explanation:
The Constitution of India identifies minority groups based on two specific criteria: religion and language. This is explicitly mentioned in Article 30, which grants all minorities, whether based on religion or language, the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. While other factors like caste or ethnicity are recognized in different constitutional contexts, they are not used to define the status of a minority. Therefore, the correct classification is based on both religious and linguistic grounds.
