Use common sense instead of Supreme court's sophistry. Why should a one school which admits general students for general education should not be subject to a state regulation only because the management is Christian ? Education is a perfectly secular activity like running a taxi service. Having tight regulation to one regulation where as total exemption to another religion seems stupid.
It could have been a minority rights issue if this exemption was limited to say a church run institution for religious studies. But then why not give same exemption to Hindu school for religious studies ?
Another catch. Some Indian states like J&K and Kerala have Hindus as minorities. But Hindus can not run minority institutions despite this. Reason ? Any minority institution needs to get a N.O.C. from National Minority Education Council but by law only Christians and Muslims can be members of this council and are allowed to give permissions only to Christian and Muslims schools.
- abhishivsaxena 11y agoBecause such institutions were explicitly founded to provide education to minorities, and it would be unfair to force them to allocate their limited resources away from that goal. Most do so voluntarily anyways. It's actually quite simple to understand I think, and the judgment says so in what is plain language, not some sophistry. And Hindus are minorities in Kerala? Despite being 54% of total population? Citation please. As far as J&K as concerned, I'm not too sure what you are saying is correct. Maybe it's true, but then J&K never merged with the India, so it's possible since laws enacted by parliament don't automatically apply to J&K. Citation please. EDIT: Your point about NMEC is invalid as well [2]. Let me know if you want me to suggest some material/books so you can better understand this issue.
