{'educational rights': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'educational institutions': [1, 0, 2, 9], 'educational institution': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'culture': [5, 0, 2, 18], 'minorities': [5, 1, 3, 18], 'language': [11, 3, 1, 9], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'admission': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'citizens': [9, 2, 9, 40]}

In India, cultural and educational rights are protected under the Constitution. These rights ensure the preservation and promotion of different cultural and linguistic identities in the country.

Options:

1. This statement is correct. Every section of citizens in India has the right to preserve their language, script, and culture. This allows for the diverse heritage of the country to be maintained.

2. This statement is also correct. No citizen can be denied admission to any educational institution solely based on their religion, race, or language. This ensures equal educational opportunities for all citizens.

3. Alert - The correct answer should be: "The State shall, in granting aid to educational institutions, not discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a majority community." This means that the State cannot discriminate against educational institutions based on their management being from the majority community.

4. This statement is correct. All minorities, whether based on religion or language, have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. This protects and promotes the cultural and educational interests of minority communities.

Overall, the only incorrect statement is option 3, which should state that the State cannot discriminate against educational institutions based on management from the majority community.
