Besides an elaborate Exodium the book is divided in six chapters. In the first chapter concepts of minority, minority formation and minority rights have been focused. Second chapter analyses minority rights under international law. Constitutional vision and minority forms the corpus of the third chapter. Last two chapters mainly concentrate on judicial response to various aspects of cultural and educational rights of the minorities in India.
