Grab the opportunity

Sir, — An 11-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court is hearing matters on the rights of minorities to establish educational institutions (July 26). The apex court should address issues with a broad brush of eternal principles rather than the thin nib of contemporary concerns. In the current cataclysmic air of communal tensions, the court should use the occasion to correct the mischief of communalism that has entered the stream of education under the guise of minority rights to operate educational institutions and the more pernicious mischief on the part of a section of the majority which claims similar rights so as to spread its brand of communalism.
