1992 च्या कायद्यातील तरतुदीनुसार 'राष्ट्रीय अल्पसंख्याक आयोगाने' अल्पसंख्याक म्हणून कोणत्या धार्मिक समुदायास मान्यता दिली ?
(a) मुस्लिम
(b) ख्रिश्चन व पारसी
(c) जैन व बौद्ध
(d) सिख व बौद्ध
वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान/विधाने बरोबर आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option D ((a), (b) and (d)).

Key Points:
• National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992: Under Section 2(c) of the Act, the Central Government initially notified five religious communities as minority communities in October 1993: Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians (Parsis).
• Jain Community Addition: Jains were not included in the original notification following the 1992 Act; they were notified as the 6th national religious minority much later on January 27, 2014.
• Evaluation of Options: Statements (a), (b), and (d) encompass all five communities recognized under the initial post-1992 statutory notification, whereas statement (c) mistakenly includes Jains for the 1992-1993 era.
• Conclusion: Hence, (a), (b), and (d) are the correct statements.
• Key Takeaway: Under the 1992 NCM Act, five original minority communities were notified in 1993 (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis); Jains were added in 2014.
