	<strong>What is Article 30 of the Indian Constitution</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30 of the Indian Constitution states the right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	It says: &ldquo;All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.&rdquo;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>When was Article 30 adopted</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30 was adopted on December 8, 1948.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Features of Article 30 of the Indian Constitution</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30 of the Indian constitution consists of provisions that safeguard various rights of the minority community in the country keeping in mind the principle of equality as well.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30(1) says that all minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30(1A) deals with the fixation of the amount for acquisition of property of any educational institution established by minority groups.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Article 30(2) states that the government should not discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language, while giving aid.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Debate around Article 30</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	On December 8, 1948, the Constituent Assembly debated around the need for imparting primary education in one&#39;s mother tongue. One of the members of the Assembly moved an amendment to restrict the scope of this article to linguistic minorities. He argued that a secular state should not recognise minorities based on religion.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Another member of the Assembly proposed to guarantee linguistic minorities the fundamental right to receive primary education in their language and script. He was concerned about the status of minority languages, even in regions which had a significant minority population.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The Constituent Assembly rejected the proposals.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>What is Article 29 of the Indian Constitution?</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Both Article 29 and Articles 30 guarantee certain right to the minorities. Article 29 protects the interests of the minorities by making a provision that any citizen / section of citizens having a distinct language, script or culture have the right to conserve the same. Article 29 mandates that no discrimination would be done on the ground of religion, race, caste, language or any of them.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Concept of Minority in the Indian Constitution</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Religious minorities</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	While Article 30 and Article 29 of the Constitution do not specify &#39;minorities&#39; in India, it is classified into religious minorities and linguistic minorities.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Religious Minorities in India</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The basic ground for a community to be nominated as a religious minority is the numerical strength of the community. For example, in India, Hindus are the majority community. As India is a multi-religious country, it becomes important for the government to conserve and protect the religious minorities of the country.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Section 2, clause (c) of the National Commission of Minorities Act, declares six communities as minority communities. They are:</div>
<div>
	Muslims</div>
<div>
	Christians</div>
<div>
	Buddhists</div>
<div>
	Sikhs</div>
<div>
	Jains and</div>
<div>
	Zoroastrians (Parsis)</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<strong>Linguistic Minorities</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Class or group of people whose mother language or mother tongue is different from that of the majority groups is known as the linguistic minorities. The Constitution of India protects the interest of these linguistic minorities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	Article 35A, which provides special rights and privileges to the citizens of Jammu &amp; Kashmir, was incorporated in the Constitution of India in 1954 by an order of then President Rajendra Prasad, on the advice of the Jawaharlal Nehru Cabinet. It gives the J&amp;K legislature full discretionary powers to decide who &#39;permanent residents&#39; of the state are. It also gives them special rights and privileges in employment with the state government, acquisition of property in the state, settling in the state, and the right to scholarships and other forms of aid that the state government provides. It also allows the state legislature to impose any restrictions upon persons other than the permanent residents regarding the above.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	To guarantee these special rights and privileges, the Article says that no act of the state legislature that comes under it can be challenged for violating the Constitution or any other laws.</div>

On the brink of a federal government shutdown, the House on Saturday swiftly approved 45-day funding bill to keep federal agencies open as Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for passage to send the package to the Senate.
The new approach would leave behind aid to Ukraine, a White House priority opposed by a growing number of GOP lawmakers, but the plan would increase federal disaster assistance by $16 billion, meeting President Joe Biden's full request. The House vote was 335-91.
With hours to go for the midnight deadline to fund the government, the Senate was also in for a rare weekend session and prepared to act next.
We're going to do our job, McCarthy said ahead of voting. We're going to be adults in the room. And we're going to keep government open.
