Minority Education Rights: Supreme Court Judgment

The recent Supreme Court judgment on the educational rights of minorities does not adequately reflect international trends for strengthening protection of minority rights. There is a need to rethink and reformulate minority rights, and enact a central law providing for multi-culturalism and pluralism along with interculturalism in all educational institutions, with the provision that minorities will have unfettered right to regulate their admission without resorting to exclusion of non-minorities.
