Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding the scope of Article 29.
Article 29(1) states that 'any section of the citizens' having a distinct language, script, or culture has the right to conserve the same. In the Jagdev Singh Sidhanti case (1965), the Supreme Court ruled that the scope of this article includes both minority and majority sections of citizens. Thus, Statement 1 is correct.
Determines the personal scope of protection under Article 29.
2
Analyze Statement 2 regarding the scope of Article 30.
Article 30(1) guarantees all minorities, whether based on religion or language, the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. Unlike Article 29, Article 30 is explicitly restricted to religious and linguistic minorities. Thus, Statement 2 is correct.
Distinguishes the target beneficiaries under Article 30 from Article 29.
3
Analyze Statement 3 regarding the definition of 'Minority'.
The Constitution of India mentions minorities in Articles 29, 30, 350A, and 350B, but it does NOT define the term 'Minority' anywhere, including Article 366 (the definitions clause). Thus, Statement 3 is incorrect.
Verifies constitutional text and definitions.
