Minority rights are the normal individual rights as applied to members of racial, ethnic, class, religious, linguistic or sexual minorities; and also the collective rights accorded to minority groups. Minority rights may also apply simply to individual rights of anyone who is not part of a majority decision.

The Indian constitution enshrines various provisions for the protection of the rights and interest of the minorities.

Firstly, India declares herself a secular state.

Secondly, Article 29 give the religious and linguistic minorities right to establish and manage educational institutions of their own.

Thirdly, Article 29 expressly forbids discrimination on grounds of race, religion, caste, language, in admission to educational institutions run by the state or receiving aids from the state.

Article 30 is vital to the protection and preservation of rights of the minorities. The minorities have been given the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. The state also cannot discriminate against educational institutions established and managed by the minorities in matters of granting aids. Such educational institutions however must receive state recognition. The state educational authorities have the right to regulate such educational institutions because the "right to manage does not include the right to mismanage."

On the whole, the minorities of all kinds have very secure rights in India which must be a matter of envy to the minorities elsewhere.

Minority rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution were signed into law under the Civil Rights act in 1964. The Civil Rights act enforced the rights of minorities and African Americans that they were promised as citizens of the united states.
