Explanation using Example
Example 1:
The Sikh community in a small town in Punjab decides to establish a school that focuses on teaching Punjabi language and Sikh religious studies, alongside the standard curriculum prescribed by the state education board. They set up "Guru Nanak Public School" and manage it independently. According to Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India, the Sikh community has the right to establish and administer this educational institution without interference from the state, as they are a minority based on religion.
Example 2:
A Christian minority group in Kerala runs "St. Mary's High School," which has been providing quality education for decades. The state government decides to acquire the land on which the school is built for a public infrastructure project. According to Article 30(1A), the government must ensure that the compensation provided for the acquisition of the property is fair and does not undermine the minority group's right to run the school. The compensation must be adequate to allow the minority group to continue their educational activities without significant disruption.
Example 3:
A linguistic minority group in Karnataka, whose primary language is Tulu, establishes "Tulu Academy School" to promote and teach the Tulu language and culture. The school applies for financial aid from the state government to improve its facilities. According to Article 30(2), the state government cannot deny the aid solely because the school is managed by a linguistic minority. The school should be considered for aid on the same basis as any other educational institution in the state.
