About the Book

The book “Minority Rights Under Scrutiny Again” is a commendable effort by Advocate Mary Scaria to enable the public, particularly those connected with or interested in educational institutions, to understand and appreciate the content and the scope of the minority rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. The author has taken support from judicial pronouncements to substantiate her views. I hope that the book will be informative and useful to the readers.
