Recently the National Commision for Minorities rescued the stranded Indians from Libya.
It was established under the National Commission for Minorities Act in 1992.
The six communities - Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Zoroastrians (Parsis), and Jains are notified as minorities in India.
The body consists of a Chairperson, a Vice-Chairperson, and five members.
The Commision has all the powers of a civil court.
