In J&amp;K, Muslims are 68.30% and government allotted 717 out of 753 scholarships to Muslim students, but none to Hindu students citing Notification on Minority Communities dated 23.10.1993 which declares Muslim&#8217;s as minority, but not the Hindus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The National Commission for Minority Act 1992 came into force on May 17, 1993. It extends to the whole of India except J&amp;K. The Central Government through a notification dated October 23, 1993, notified five communities viz. Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsis as &#8216;minority&#8217; community.<\/p>\n<p>According to 2011 Census, Hindus are monitory in eight states i.e. Lakshadweep (2.5%), Mizoram (2.75%), Nagaland (8.75%), Meghalaya (11.53%), J&amp;K (28.44%), Arunachal Pradesh (29%), Manipur (31.39%) and Punjab (38.40%).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, their minority rights are being siphoned off illegally and arbitrarily to the majority population because neither Central nor the State Governments have notified Hindus as a &#8216;minority&#8217; under Section 2 (c) of the NCM Act. Therefore, Hindus are being deprived of their basic rights, guaranteed under the Articles 25 to 30,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>Contending that the 1993 notification is against the basic structure of the Constitution, Upadhyay highlights how communities, which are in majority in a given state, are enjoying benefits meant for minority communities.<\/p>\n<p>The PIL also contended: &#8220;The Prime Minister&#8217;s 15 Points Programme\/scheme meant for religious and linguistic minorities is not being appropriately used, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THe petitioner had moved a similar plea before the Supreme Court. But the Supreme Court dismissed the petition giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate High Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Central Government in a plea seeking minority status for Hindus living in 7 States in India.
