Abstract
The minority problem is tricky in India. It has spread all over the world and India is no exception. The Promotion and Protection of the people belonging to Minorities is the responsibility of the State in which they live. This assurance of being protected and promoted by the state will contribute to the softening of tensions among individuals and groups in the country. In India, our constitution clearly mentions that the minorities are having the equality, fraternity, liberty and justice. Further it also provided the safeguards and security to the minorities living in the country. The Indian Constitution incorporated the Fundamental Rights which in its Article 29 and 30 provides for the Cultural and Educational Rights. It is also defined in the basic structural of the constitution (preamble of the Indian constitution).These two Articles head read as "Protection of interests of minorities' and’ Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions respectively. In India, the minority rights have always been a controversial, burning, debatable issue. The minority desires the enjoyment of all human rights equally and basic freedoms without any discrimination. What else they desire is the positive support of the state. Their problem is the most baffling question confronting modern democracies. The framers of the Constitution of India were well aware of the complex character of the problem. They had a firm faith that holistic national conscience would grow if the minorities are guaranteed liberty, equality, fraternity and justice. Although, the focus of the researcher is on upliftment of the Minorities through empowerment, so as to enhance the representation and living standards of the underrepresented groups.
