Write a short note on Cultural and Educational Rights.

The Constitution of India has given written guarantees of the rights of the minorities. In order to protect the interests of the minorities, who otherwise will be neglected on the basis of the language, religion and culture, certain written guarantees are given for the minorities.

a. Any section of citizens with a distinct language or culture have a right to conserve it.

b. Admission to any educational institution maintained by government or receiving government aid cannot be denied to any citizen on religion or linguistic differences.

c. All the minorities have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

These cultural and educational rights are granted to protect only with the view to secure the minorities and not to seclude them from the society.
