What is the significance of Article 350B in terms of linguistic minorities?
Article 350B has the significance of ensuring protection and safeguards for linguistic minorities in India. It mandates the appointment of a Special Officer for linguistic minorities by the President, who will investigate matters related to the safeguards provided for these groups under the Constitution and report back to the President at regular intervals. The reports are then laid before each House of Parliament and sent to the respective State Governments, ensuring that the concerns and rights of linguistic minorities are addressed and monitored by the central government.
