Scheduled Tribe inclusion in the list.
by ramya shankar on Jun 04, 2007 06:56 AM

Since 1951 the Govt of India had not included any comunity in the list of Scheduled case or Tribe so far. A number of proposals sent by various State Govts are pending years together.For example in the list published By the Govt of India in their Green Book the castes as on 1951 were alone considered as reserved.Even the nomadic tribe like Narikuravas
in Tamilnadu is still in Backward class and the efforts taken by the State Govt to include has not materialised even after several decades. It is a fact that ST can get lot of priorities in both Educatin and job opportunities, but a number of them are enjoying the benifits by false certificates.The poor Gujjar community people had not been apprised of the position and this was the reason for their agitation . If their claim is conceeded than atleast 20% of the people in india will agitate to include their community in ST may perhaps the reason for inclusion in the list.After the lapse of 55 years it is unthikable to include any community newly in list of ST/SC, now. It is the duty of the State Govt to lift the depressed class people who ever it might be, by giving both educational opportunities and other infrastructule to bring them forward.The polititions insted of looking for their gains should think of the poor peole and come forward to helpinstead of indusing them for their personal gains
