The minister of state for minority affairs has said that the government can only give minority status to people after talks with “many stakeholders,” including the states.
A new city is called New Delhi. According to the 2011 Census, there are about 4,650 Jews in India. They have been waiting for a long time to become a minority group. That’s what Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said in response to a question from the Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of parliament. Before the community can get any more benefits as a minority group, it will first have to meet with “a variety of stakeholders.”
It didn’t happen during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Israel earlier this month to talk about giving Jewish people in India the same rights as other people. However, the name of the ministry’s response to the request for minority status seems to have changed a little.
