National Institutions on Minority Rights
This collection of the
First, the term minority is
problematic in the Indian context. At one level, it refers to many marginalised
and disadvantaged groups and communities which share three characteristics,
namely, they are numerically small, are concentrated at the bottom of the
economic scale in occupational terms, and are stigmatised. From this
perspective, even the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are sometimes
characterised as a minority.
Second, there is confusion whether
the so-called minority groups should be identified at the level of a state or
at an all-India level, and the term minority is used variously to denote groups
which are in a numerical minority at the state level or in a particular
district and which are numerically in a minority at the all-India level. Thus,
while on the one hand communities such as the Kashmiri Brahmins in Jammu and
Kashmir or Hindus in Murshidabad in West Bengal and in Malliapuram in Kerala
(where Muslims enjoy a clear majority) are spoken of as a minority, on the
other hand the term is reserved for communities which are clearly in a
numerical minority at the all-India level. Thus, the Parsis, Sikhs, Christians
and Muslims are spoken of as minorities because their numerical representation
in the overall national population is small. Even here there is no uniformity
of nomenclature. For example, Jains, whose representation in the population is
miniscule as compared to some of the groups, which are generally seen as
constituting minority communities, are not characterised as minority groups.
Third, while the basic law speaks of
cultural and linguistic minorities in broad and general terms, it does not
specify the groups, which are to be treated as such. One of the consequences of
this constitutional silence is that the identification of groups and
communities as minorities has been left to the administrative prerogative, at
times to court verdicts. Thus, certain denominational orders flowing from the
Hindu religious tradition have now been considered as minority groups. The
Presidential Executive Order, which constitutes the basis for identification of
minority groups in
This significant fact has had a
direct consequence in the preparation of this directory. One early decision
that had to be made was, whether one should go along the commonplace usage of
the term “minority” and include all those institutions and organisations that
are working for those groups. Or, should one limit the compilation to those
groups, which are officially recognised as minority communities? After
considerable reflection, it was thought fit to define the scope of this
directory in a way so that it can cover those institutions and organisations,
which are specifically concerned with the rights of the groups, which are
characterised as minority communities. Accordingly, included in this directory
are those institutions, organisations and scholars, which are specifically
concerned with Parsis, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, and Buddhists. Plus, we have
included many institutions working for dalits and indigenous communities – the
Constitution does not define them as minorities, but in terms of powerlessness,
there is hardly any difference.
The last major difficulty that in the
preparation of this directory came up right in the beginning is the fact, that
while there are many institutions, organisations and scholars working in the
area of minority rights, concentrating specifically on the rights of the
minority groups, there are many other organisations, which in times of crisis
or specific issues of attacks on minority communities, expand their area of
activities and take part in social and political activism on the issue of
minority rights. We have tried to include some of these groups as well.
But this is such a vast country with
so many types of organisations working in myriad ways in defence of minority
groups, dalits, and indigenous communities, that preparing one “national”
directory of everything looks justifiably an absurd task. The only justification
in this enterprise may be the reason that it should lead to more variegated
directories on this theme.

The National Commission for
Minorities was set up by the Government of India under a resolution of the
Ministry of Home Affairs during 1978 and became the statutory organisation
after enactment of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992. The
Commission holds daily meetings where happenings in the entire country are
reviewed, takes action on reports from individuals and groups on common
interests of minorities and takes cognisance of reports appearing in various
newspaper or periodicals. It also advises the Government of India, to which it
makes an annual report, on any matters that the Government of India might refer
to it. The functioning of the Commission has come in for sharp criticism and it
has been often alleged that it is a body without teeth.

Dawoodi Bohra Community is unique in
many ways. It is an enterprising business community, which manages to progress
and regress simultaneously. As a close-knit community it follows the dictates of
its clergy blindly and remains fearful, but the individuals belonging to this
community time and again show remarkable courage in defying the clergy. On one
hand as a peace-loving community, for peaceful co-existence it even compromises
its personal dignity and self respect, but on the other hand it becomes violent
for no reason and indulges in murderous attacks on its own community members.
The Bohra Chronicle tries to be the voice of Dawoodi Bohra Community.

INSAF is a forum of over 500
grassroots organizations including trade-unions and NGOs. INSAF emerged out of
a common need expressed by a group of 45 social action groups and activists in
February 1993, who resolved to form a national forum, to seek alternate
paradigms for action and discourse in the face of the emerging challenges and
search for shared perspective and solidarity. INSAF Forum was thus initiated to
act as a focal point for purposive social action that is both critical and
constructive. Such social action is aimed at ensuring the survival of the
communities, including minorities, under threat, to confront the
anti-communitarian forces of religious fundamentalism and the forces of
globalisation and liberalisation. INSAF is a platform for mobilising public
opinion against forces of globalisation, fundamentalism, and ecological
destruction, suppression of human rights and erosion of cultural values.

ISI was conceived by the Indian
Jesuit Body as well as by some social minded persons as a national resource
centre for voluntary sector, NGOs, people’s movements and for those engaged in
similar activities and organizational work. Hence, right from its conception
the Institute has been functioning as a supportive centre and space for those
individuals, groups, organizations and communities who were and are seeking for
alternative forms of development, people’s participation and mobilization. The
Institute strives to assist social activists in the conceptualisation of the
present situation through constant interaction with and through a pedagogy of
experience action-reflection with the people and workers at the grassroots
level, support groups like intellectuals and journalists and policy makers. The
Institute continues to develop a database on the economic policy, the impact of
globalization and liberalization policies and programmes, debt trap and relief,
the role of global financing corporations like the IMF, World Bank and the WTO,
the agrarian scene, the lives of the marginalised communities and human rights.
The Institute has been making attempts to ally itself as a supportive resource
centre of people’s movements specially of the dalits, the tribals, women, and
other backward castes and the minorities. The Institute with like minded groups
and organisations tries to review, monitor, campaign, and lobby for changes in
national and international policies in favour of the vulnerable communities.

Sixty years ago it was launched by Maulana
Abul Ala Maududi, a young but acclaimed Muslim intellectual of the time. The
Maulana can rightly be described as the greatest revivalist of Islam in the
twentieth century whose writings and thoughts inspired similar movements in a
large part of the world. Muslim Brotherhood, or Al-Ikhwanul Muslimoon as it is
better known, has borrowed a lot from the man who brought a sea change in the
Muslim perspective in this part of the world.
It is one of the leading organization of the Muslims. It does rehabilitation work and services for
victims of riots in Bhopal, Meerut, Maliana, Bhagalpur, Samastipur, Mumbai and
Moradabad and around the country in the post-Babri riots it has done exemplary
work. Literature prepared by it is excellent. Its efforts to reach out to
non-Muslim population in the country in recent times and its dawah efforts are
exemplary in nature and should be commended by the whole community. This
advocacy undertaken by the Jamaat has helped remove misconceptions about Islam
and Muslims among many non-Muslims.

launched as a national network.The major activities of Lokniti include: a)
monitoring the democratization process, especially the participation of
hitherto marginalized groups such as dalits, women and minorities in the

training a new generation of scholars and public intellectuals to intervene in

India's 65 million Muslim women,
often called a minority within a minority for their double handicap of gender
and faith, are challenging medieval religious laws that have oppressed them for
centuries - and for a change some "mullahs" are listening. In recent
years, Muslim women have fought fundamentalist interpretations of Islamic law
(sharia) by asking the courts to take into consideration basic human
rights. Muslim Women's Forum, led by
Sayeeda Hameed, is in the forefront of this effort. They are working incessantly to ensure that
Muslim women in India get equal benefits to those of several other Islamic
societies like Turkey.

The city of Varanasi is the abode of marginalized
communities such as dalitts. As a result of brahmanical strictures these
marginalised communities have remained illiterate. The children of these
communities have ended up as bonded labourers, in carpet, silk and sarees
industries where they do not receive the minimum wages and are subjected to
physical violence by their employers.
Many of these communities are subjected to police atrocities. Their
women and girls are treated to all kinds of sexual abuses and humiliation. In
the Block of Badeganv , in the village of Belwa located on the south of the
block the whole dalit and backwards Ghetto had been denied voting rights for
the past twenty five years. Their children are not allowed to educate
themselves because the Pradhan has not allowed any government school from
coming up in that area while the private schools are too costly for them to
afford. Consequently the children of the dalits remain illiterate and end up as
bonded labourers. PVCHR works for the betterment of these groups who have been
historically marginalized including dalits, adivasis, women, rural poor,
workers etc.

backward regions of India. The two groups that form the focus of SAHAYOG's
attention are women and dalits. Women because they are the perennial second
class citizens and exploited even more in the hills of U.P. where they are the
main agricultural and domestic worker. The Dalits are a community that has been
cast outside the mainstreasn of Indian society as untouchable and dispossessed
of their own lands in the U.P. hills.
SAHAYOG organizes campaigns for them.
