Cultural & Educational Rights
The cultural and educational right is described in the
constitution as:
Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part
there of having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have
the right to conserve the same.
No citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution
maintained by the State or receiving aid out of State funds on grounds only
of religion, race, caste, language or any of them.
All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right
to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
In making any law providing for the compulsory acquisition of any property
of any educational institution established and administered by a minority,
referred to in clause (1), the State shall ensure that the amount fixed by
or determined under such law for the acquisition of such property is such as
would not restrict or abrogate the right guaranteed under that clause.
The State shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions,
discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is
under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language. |
