Article 29 protects the language, script, and culture of any section of citizens residing in India. 2.

A. 1 and 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct as they outline the specific protections afforded to linguistic and religious minorities under Articles 29 and 30. Statement 3 is incorrect because minority educational institutions are not immune from regulatory measures enacted by the state to maintain academic excellence, general discipline, sanitation, and employment standards. The state can regulate administration without interfering with the management core.
