Explanation:

Article 29 grants protection to both religious minorities as well as linguistic minorities. However the Supreme Court held that the scope of this article is not necessarily restricted to minorities only. This is because of the use of words ‘section of citizens’ in the article that include minorities as well as majority.Under Article 30, all minorities shall have the rights to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
