Under the Indian constitutional framework, which landmark Supreme Court judgment determined that minority status must be identified on both national and state (provincial) levels, while noting that the term 'minority' is not explicitly defined in the Constitution?

Explanation

The term 'minority' is not defined anywhere in the Constitution of India. However, in the T.M.A. Pai Foundation v. State of Karnataka (2002) case, the Supreme Court ruled that minorities (religious and linguistic) are to be identified at both national and state levels (provincial levels). Under Article 30, minorities also have the right to educate their children in their own language.
