India is very diverse in its social makeup with multitude of communities, language speakers, ethnicities, and religious minorities. In a democracy where a majority community naturally gets predominance over minority communities, recognition of the rights of minorities ensures peaceful co-existence and support of minorities in national goals of justice, peace and development. Minority rights are not privileges awarded to the communities but rather play a crucial role in different communities enjoying equal respect. These rights support vulnerable groups and bring all members of a society to a minimum level to exercise their human and fundamental rights.
