Minority status of AMU to remain in place until a regular Supreme Court bench reviews the case on its merits, in line with the newly established legal guidelines of the 7-judge bench.
I am delighted to read your article as I got my Masters in Physics from AMU in 1963. In my department, majority of students were Non-Muslims. Piara Singh GILL was Hod Physics and students from Punjab joined AMU in large numbers. I am also HAPPY that RSS/BJP failed in its efforts to derail AMU. Many Sikhs are ignorant of the fact that AMU has higher RANKING in Research as compared to BHU Varanasi.
Although the decision of the Supreme Court of India is narrow, 4–3, I am glad that the interpretation by the Apex Court has preserved a very important pillar available as constitutional protection and provision for the linguistic and religious minorities in the country. It also now allows for more affirmative action by the central and state governments.
