According to a report by the Centre for Policy Analysis, India has topped the list of countries on counts of inclusiveness and treatment of religious minorities.
The report, as far as India’s minority policy is concerned, says its model focuses on the promotion of diversity.
“In the Constitution of India there are special and exclusive provisions for the cultural and educational promotion of religious minorities. In no other Constitution are there special provisions in place for the promotion of religious and linguistic minorities,” the report states.
India is a country where there is no ban on any sects of any religions, unlike in many other countries, it points out.
“Therefore, India’s minority policy may be used as a model by the UN for other countries because of its inclusive character and non-discriminatory nature regarding different religions and their sects,” it says.
