India bagged the first position among different countries as the most inclusive nation for religious minorities, according to a report published by Australia Today on Monday.
Among 110 nations, India has the highest level of religious minorities acceptance, followed by South Korea, Japan, Panama, and the US. Maldives, Afghanistan, and Somalia are at the bottom of the list, with the UK and the UAE coming in at positions 54 and 61, respectively, the report said.
In a first assessment report on global minorities published by the Centre for Policy Analysis (CPA), India has been placed at the top position out of 110 countries for its inclusion measures towards religious minorities.
The US, South Korea, Japan, Panama and India are the top five countries among the 110 nations in terms of acceptance of religious minorities.
According to the survey, the Maldives, Afghanistan and Somalia are at the bottom of the list, with the UK and the UAE ranking 54 and 61 respectively.
According to the CPA report, India’s minority policy is built on a strategy that emphasizes fostering diversity, as per the report by the CPA — a research organisation with its head office located in Bihar’s Patna city.
The Constitution of India provides unique and special clauses that encourage religious minorities in both culture and education. The report claims that no other Constitution has clear guarantees for the support of linguistic and religious minorities.
The report emphasizes how India has no restrictions on any religious sects in contrast to many other countries.
According to the report, given its inclusivity and absence of prejudice towards numerous religions and their sects, India’s minority policy may serve as an example for other countries when it comes to minority policies.
