Freedom of Religion:
Everyone has the right to practice their religion freely.

Cultural and Educational Rights:
Minority groups like Muslims and Parsis can preserve their culture.
They have the right to decide how their culture is kept alive.
Why It Matters:
The Constitution wants to make sure no culture is ignored or taken over.
It protects the rights of all groups, not just the majority.

Laws for the Marginalised
Purpose of Reservation:
Reservation laws reserve seats in education and government jobs for Dalits, Adivasis,
and other backward castes.
They aim to address centuries of inequality by giving these groups a chance to learn and
work.
How Reservation Works:
Governments maintain lists of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and backward
castes.
Candidates must provide proof of their caste or tribe status to benefit from reservation.
Admission to colleges and government jobs may have cutoff marks, but reserved seats
ensure opportunities for marginalized groups.
Impact and Scholarships:
Reservation helps marginalized students access higher education, including professional
courses.
Special scholarships are also provided to support their education.
