Every year a new theme is announced to highlight the concerns of Minorities Rights Day in a more profound way. This year i.e 2023 the theme will be ‘Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion’. The latest theme will help in promoting the inclusivity and diversity of the minorities of India.

Back on 18 December 1992, the Declaration on the Individual’s Rights Belonging to Religious or Linguistic National or Ethnic Minorities was adopted and later promoted by the United Nations. 

For those who are not aware, Minorites are people or say communities with a smaller number of people than the major groups in the classifications in terms of their race, religion, practices, ethnicity as well as other characteristics. 

It should be noted that the Constitution of India does not define minorities but does acknowledge linguistic and religious minorities. These groups include Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Jains and Parsis. They come under minority communities under Section 2 (c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.
