Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29–30)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Article 29 safeguards the rights of any community to preserve its distinct language, script, or culture, preventing majority cultures from overshadowing minorities. Article 30 grants minorities—based on language or religion—the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. This ensures diversity and promotes inclusiveness in India’s socio-cultural fabric. Courts have interpreted these rights to protect minority institutions from unwarranted state interference. They form the backbone of India’s multicultural identity, enabling every group to cherish and transmit its heritage across generations while pursuing high-quality education in line with its beliefs.
