Correct Answer:

Both Statements are correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Both Statements are correct.

Statement A- Minorities are groups that have common language or religion and in a particular part of the country or in the country as a whole, they are outnumbered by some other social section.
Statement B- In India, all minorities, religious or linguistic, can set up their own educational institutions. By doing so, they can preserve and develop their own culture.

Our Constitution believes that diversity is our strength. Therefore, one of the fundamental rights is the right of the minorities to maintain their culture. This minority status is not dependent only upon religion. Linguistic and cultural minorities are also included in this provision. Minorities are groups that have common language or religion and in a particular part of the country or in the country as a whole, they are outnumbered by some other social section. Such communities have a culture, language and a script of their own, and have the right to conserve and develop these. All minorities, religious or linguistic, can set up their own educational institutions. By doing so, they can preserve and develop their own culture. The government will not, while granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the basis that it is under the management of minority community.
