UPSC SO-Steno – 2018
Matters relating to the Representation of the Anglo-Indian Community do not primarily fall under the control of the Ministry of Minority Affairs. Constitutional provisions related to the nomination/representation of Anglo-Indians were historically dealt with by the Ministry of Home Affairs or Parliament/Assemblies themselves, and related welfare matters often fall under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
The Ministry of Minority Affairs is the nodal ministry for affairs of the five notified religious minority communities (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis) and Jains (added later) as per the National Commission for Minorities Act. The specific provisions for the Anglo-Indian community are distinct and handled by other ministries.
Options A, B, and C relate directly to the core mandate of the Ministry of Minority Affairs, including dealing with minority communities, administering the National Commission for Minorities Act, and implementing welfare schemes through structures like District Minorities Planning Committees.
