The National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities, also known as the Ranganath Misra Commission, was a commission established by the Indian government in 2004. The purpose of the commission was to examine the social, economic, and educational status of religious and linguistic minorities in India, and to make recommendations for their welfare and development. The commission was headed by Justice Ranganath Misra, a former Chief Justice of India, and included several other members with expertise in areas such as law, education, and social welfare. The commission conducted extensive research and consultations with stakeholders, including minority communities, government officials, and civil society organizations. In 2006, the commission submitted its report to the Indian government, which included a range of recommendations aimed at promoting the rights and well-being of religious and linguistic minorities in India. These recommendations covered a wide range of areas, including education, employment, housing, and political representation. The report generated significant controversy and debate, with some critics arguing that the recommendations were biased towards minority communities and would undermine the secular fabric of Indian society. However, supporters of the commission argued that its findings and recommendations were important for addressing the socio-economic disparities faced by minority communities in India. |
