Minorities have been a controversial issue throughout human’s history. The word “Minority” means a group comprising less than half of the population and differing from others, especially the predominant section, in race, religion, traditions and culture, language, etc. A special Subcommittee on the Protection of Minority Rights appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Commission in 1946 defined the ‘minority’ as those “non-dominant groups in a population which possess a wish to preserve stable ethnic, religious and linguistic traditions or characteristics markedly different from those of the rest of the population. Recently, 90 Minority Concentration Districts (MCDs) have been identified throughout the countries which are relatively backward and falling behind the national average in terms of socio-economic and basic amenities indicators.
