Question

What are minorities explain with example

Answer 1

Minorities include groups who :

• Are less in number to the rest of the population of a state

• Are in a non-dominant position

• Reside in the state, being either nationals or a group with close long-standing ties to the state

• Possess ethnic, religious, or linguistic characteristics differing from those of the rest of the population

• Show, if only implicitly, a sense of solidarity directed towards preserving their distinctive collective identity.

Generally minority groups are recognized to include national, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious minorities, as well as some migrants, refugees, and indigenous and tribal peoples.
