  The correct answer is (True).

The Indian Constitution does not explicitly define the term "minority." However, it recognizes various types of minorities, including religious minorities, linguistic minorities, and socially and educationally backward classes, through various provisions and articles. For example, Article 29 and Article 30 of the Constitution provide special rights to religious and linguistic minorities, respectively. Similarly, the Constitution also provides for the reservation of seats for socially and educationally backward classes in educational institutions and in the appointment of judges to the higher judiciary.

Therefore, while the Constitution does not define the term "minority," it does recognize and provide special rights to various types of minority groups. Hence, the answer is (True).
