This date of 18th December is celebrated to protect and promote the rights of minority communities.

Let us know the rights of minorities in the Constitution of the country and information to this Minority Rights Day.
If we talk about Minority Rights Day here, it started in the year 2013. During that time India supported the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, which was adopted on December 18, 1992. The purpose of the call to celebrate this day has basically been to find necessary measures to protect the identity and rights of minority groups in the states. According to the history of this day, National Commission for Minority (NCM) has been officially established in the year 1992 under the National Commission for Minority Act.
The NCM, which works for minorities, aims to monitor the implementation of the constitutional rights of recognized minority communities, which include Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsis. Jain was added to this list in 2014. If we talk about it, in NCM India these societies are being recognized as minorities, that is, these societies are included in the minority community.
