Empowerment of the
community through legal,
constitutional ways-¤¤¤¤§§§§
We can be proud of having such
a secular, democratic
constitution of ours. Our
constitution can be described as
one of the best in the world. I
would like to cite certain vital
clauses of Indian Constitution
which ensure Minority Rights.
Article 14: Equality before Law
Article 15(1): Prohibition of
Discrimination on the ground of
religion, race, caste, sex, place of
birth etc.
Article 15(4): Enabling provision
for advancement for socially and
educationally backward citizens
including SC/ST
Article 16(1): Equality for
Educational Opportunities
Article 16(2): Protection against
discrimination on employment
Article 16(4): Enabling Provision
for making reservation in
employment
Article 25: Freedom of Faith etc.
Article 29: Protection of Culture,
language etc.
Article 30: Right for
establishment and administration
of educational institutions by the
minorities according to their
choice.
In addition to the above
constitutional guarantees, there
are volumes of
recommendations by various
commissions such as:-
1. 1985 Kaka Kalekar
Commission
2. 1980 B.P. Mandal Commission
3. 1983 Gopal Singh Panel
4. 1986 National Policy On
Education With A Separate 5.
Chapter For Minority Education
6. 2006 Sacchar Committee
7. 2009 Ranganath Misra
Commission.
It may also be noted that several state level committees and commissions were also constituted in the same direction. If we analyze the situation in its reality of contemporary Indian situation in respect of the minorities it is not at all happy. Sachar Committee and Ranganath Misra Commission both agree that the Muslims in the country has been neglected like anything and in many cases their position is lower than SC/ ST. Sachar Committee which looked into the various problems connected with equity, identity and security reveals that the position of the Muslim minority in India is really deplorable. If you verify all the development indicators, Muslims are in the lowest minimum. Both these commissions are of the view that empowerment of the community can be possible only through the united effort of the Community. Both these committees have arrived at a conclusion that unless political power is gained things will go from bad to worse.
