They held that Ramakrishna's "Neo-Vedanta" is a truer version of the ideals of Vedanta. So it was honestly felt that this makes the followers of Ramakrishna eligible for the legal status of "minority". It is possible that the immediate cause for the appeal for minority status was the danger that the local Marxist government would take control of its educational institutions unless it could invoke the extra protection the Indian constitution accords to minority religions.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_50-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While the <a href="/wiki/Calcutta_High_Court" title="Calcutta High Court">Calcutta High Court</a> accepted the Mission's pleas, the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_India" title="Supreme Court of India">Supreme Court of India</a> ruled against it in 1995, citing evidence that it had all the characteristics of a <a href="/wiki/Hindus" title="Hindus">Hindu</a> organization.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Mission found it advisable to let the matter rest.
