(a) Minority: 10 female teachers. Our society is male-dominated. The 10 female teachers must be allowed space to voice their opinion freely to make them feel included.
(b) Minority:5% Buddhist population. The Buddhist population in a city must not be forced to follow the dominant religion of that city but must be respected for its exclusiveness.
(c) Minority: 20% non-vegetarians. The factory mess must make provisions for meat for non-vegetarian workers since it is an integral part of their diet and protect their right to food.
(d) Minority: 10 poor students. The well-off students should be warned against harassing their poor classmates and all services are provided to them irrespective of their economic status.
