INTRODUCfION·

Article 341 of the Constitutioncprovides that the President

may, .withr~spect to any State or Union Territory, specify/the,
castes,. raeesor tribes or parts of. or groups within castes, raees
or tribes which shall· for· the purposes of the Constitution be'
deemed 'to be Scheduled' Castes in' relation' to that State' or
VIrion· Territory. Article 342 similarly provides for specifiCa-
tion ,of tribes or tribal' communities or parts of or groups ,within
tribes or tribal communities which are to be deemed; for the
(
I purposes of the Constitution to be SCheduled Tribes in relation
I to the various States and Union Territories. In pursuance of
\ these provisions, the President made two Orders, in 1950; in
relation to the then Part 'A' and Part 'B' StateS); called:: the
l
\ Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, and the Consti-
\
tution (Scheduled' Tribes) Order, 1950. In the' following year
he made- the Constitution' (Scheduled Castes) Part' 'C'; States
Order, 1951, and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes)" Part:'C'
States Order, 1951, in respect of the then Part 'c' States. Under
the Constitution, these Orders: could be,: varied- only by a law
of Parliament. The need for such variation:. arose: first when
the State of Andhra Pradesh was created by. the Andhra State
Act, 1953" then on the creation of the new State of· Hiinachal
Pradesh by the Himachal Pradesh. and Bilaspw:, (New State)
Act, 1954. Certain recommendations were later made by
the Backward Classes Commission, ~hereupon. these·, OMers
were, again, revised by .the· SChedUledCastes and Scheduled :Tribes·
Order ,(Amendment) Act, 1956. On the reorganisatioo otStates;
by the. States Reorganisation Act, 1956, and on the;;e~actment Ion,;
the Bihar ,and West Bengal (~ransfer:ofTe~ories) Ad::; lti6;...~.~
the Orders 'were further modified by· the SCheduled :.Castes.•and~'"'~ .

2. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes appear-
ing in the various Orders came up for criticism on a number of
occasions both in Parliament and ou~ide on the ground that
they were not rational and contained several anomalies. Assurances
were given on behalf of the Government that a further revision
of the lists would be undertaken in consultation with the State
Governments and others and an attempt would be made to
rationalise the lists. A number of representations were received
by the Government of India and the views of the Governments
of the various States and Union Territories were invited thereon;
they were also requested to make their own suggestions, if any.
After a preliminary examination of the resultant proposals received
from the States and Union Territories, this Committee was appoint-
ed by a Resolution of the Government of India in the Department
of Social Security, dated the 1st June, 1965 (Appendix II),
with the following terms of reference ;-
( 1) To advise on the proposals received by Government
for revision of the existing lists of Scheduled Castes and Sche-
duled Tribes.
(2) To advise whether, where a caste or a tribe is listcd
as a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe in relation to a
particular area in a State or an Union Territory, members of
that caste or tribe residing-
(i) in other areas within the same State or Union Terri-
tory, or
(ii) in other States or Union Territories , representatives. A list of persons with whom discussions'w~re
should be recognised as belonging to the Scheduled Caste or
Scheduled Tribe, as the case may be.
The Resolution observed that the present lists of Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes did not show a uniform pattern and several
,
anomalies had been brought to the notice of Government and
th~t it was therefore very necessary that'the lists of Sch~duled
:1 '
Castes and Scheduled Tribes should be revised "in a rational
and scientific manner". The Committee was expected to submit
the report within three months of the datc of the Resolution.

~ the proposals received by Government.. But on the announce-
I: ment of the constitution of the Committee, a large number of
:!
representations were received by the Committee directly-they
continued to pour in even while this report was being drafted-

from organisations as w~II as individual members of the public,
including members of Legislatures and social workers, and the
Committee felt it would be desirable to examine these represen-
tations to the extent possible; this additional responsibility under-
taken by the Commi~tee made its task more onerous.
~ The task of the Committee involved the examination ,of the
historical and scientifie background of over eight' hundred ~iDal
communities and caste groups and assessment of their social,
educational and economic conditions with a view to determining
their eligibility to be specified in the lists of Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes.
5. With the object 9f collecting as much material and acquaint-
ing itself with as many viewpoints as possible within the short
time available, the Committee visited almost all the State capitals
and held extensive discussi,ons with the officers and experts, of ~
the Governments of the various States and Union Territories,
some Members of Parliament and State Legislatures, social workers,
social scientists and available represen~ationists; wherever possi-
ble, the Committee also ascertained the views of the Chief
Ministers and Ministers in charge of the welfare of backward
classes in the States. The Committee was assisted in these discus-
sions byTribes.

CHAPTER II
PRINCIPLES AND POLICY
6. The Constitution has not expressly prescribed any principles
or pQ1icyfor drawing up lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes; However, there are indicl!tions in the Constitution that
extreme social, educational and economic backwardness would
qualify a caste or a tribe to be included in these lists. Article 46
of the Constitution enjoins the State to promote with special care
the educational and e·conomic interests of the weaker sections of
the people, and, in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and Sche-
duled Tribes, and to protect them from social injustice and all
forms of exploitation. Article 15 (4) enables the State to make
special' provisions for the advancement of socially and educa-
tionally backward classes of citizens and the Scheduled Castes
and; Scheduled Tribes. It is provided in article 335 that the
claims of the members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
shallbe taken into consideration cOJ;lsistentlywith the maintenance
of efficiency of administration in the making of appointments
to servi,.cesand posts in connection with the affairs of the Union
or of;a ,State. Articles .330 and 332 provide for reservation of
seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the House of
thePe'9ple and the Legislative Assemblies of the States. (Such
reservatipn will, however, cease to have effect in 1970). Article
338 'reqqires the appointment of a Special Officer for the Sche-
duled .. Castes and Scheduled Tribes to investigate all matters
relating .,to the safegtlards provided for them under the Constitu-
tiOlland report upon the working of those safeguards. A Com-
mj~ioJl; has to be appointed under article 339 (1) to report on
the. adJ:pjnistration of the welfare of the Scheduled Tribes while
article 339(2) empowers the Union to give directions to a State'
as to the drawing up and execution of schemes essential for the
welfare of the Scheduled Tribes in the States. The proviso to
article 164(1) includes in the Council of Ministers in the States
of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa a Minister in charge of
tribal welfare who may also be in charge of the welfare of the
Scheduled Castes and backward c.lasses. A proviso to article
275(1) requires the Union to pay to the States as grants-in-aid
necessary capital and recurring sums to enable them to meet the
costs of schemes of development undertaken by them with the
approval of the Government of India for the purpose of promoting
4 Untouchability is the criterion and it being peculiar to the'

provisions in· the Constitution proceed; on the ..recognition: of.·~the.

the Scheduled Tribes being somewhat· more than that on· the:
Scheduled Castes. (It is relevant to note that !he Constitution.
also recognises another section of the citizens as deserving of
special: care, namely, the backward classes. This distinction
ought therefore to be well kept in mind, as between the Scheduled: i
Castes and 1he Scheduled Tribes on the one hand and the
backward classes on the other.) It will be observed that under-
arti~le 341 not only castes and groups within castes but also
races or tribes and groups within races or tribes can be specified'
as Scheduled Castes. Under article 342, however, only tribes
or tribal communities or groups within tribes or tribal communi-
ties have to be specified as Scheduled Tribes.

mento£' India (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1936, made under,the
Government of India Act, 1935, which, in turn, was tlI.e continua..,
tion, of the earlier ijst of "depressed classes". Thedepressedi
classes, it is well known, were systematically categorised in .1931 .
by the Census Commissioner for India who had given the follow~,
ing instructions for the purpose of such categorisation :-
"I have explained depressed castes as castes, contact with"

'Whose ~tI1ainobject is to secure or retain a place in the lists of
"Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The motivation for
tbeigrowthof such .organisations arises from what may be called
tbe 'very attractive "package deal" of special facilities and bene-
fits that are provided for communities included in the Schedules.
tTheD;lore ;advanced communities regard the reservation of seats
ill! the Legislatures as the most attractive of these facilities; consi-
derable interest is also displayed in the reserved seats in Pancha-
yati iRaj institutions at .various levels, and seats in other .local
bodies. One Scheduled Caste political leader from a northern
State said candidly that he would be, prepared to forego economic
and other development benefits if special political rights were
guaranteed, because once political rigqts were acquired, anything
tlJey desired would follow. The really backward communities,
however, look forward to the reservations and other facilities for
recruitment to the services, educational concessions and benefits
of economic development schemes, and are not concerned with
political privileges.

idea cannot also be implemented within the present framework

duled Tribes until they rise to the average stratum; of'l*iety, we
regret to note that the listing of: th*·castesand tribesl'JIas1·more
or less created vested interests· and has -tended to damp>-kHsome
extent personal effort and' enterprise to improve one's positiOn and
fortune. Inclusion in the lists is regarded more as a'e<JVeted
prize than as a reflection of backwardness. While a large number
of requests for inclusion in the lists were pressed before us, we
had only 'one instance of a request for exclusion from the lists on
the ground that inclusion in the lists operates as a stigma. 'The
Constitution does. not provide for the total liquidation··.of ".these
lists at any time out prominent social workers, political· leaders
outside the fold of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
and a large number of officials whom we met in the course of
our inquiry asserted that, in the interests of national -integration
and in view of the changes which have taken place during the
last 15 years, the time has come to do away gradually withl·these
privileged classes, particularly in view of the increasing.·demand
for inclusion therein, and to organise developmental 'sChemes
without reference to castes or tribes. The least thatsho'ltlld be
done, we were told, is to fix a time limit for the currency of the \
lists. In any case, the consensus of opinion expressed before us
has been that the emphasis should be on the gradual elimination
of the larger and more advanced communities from these lists,
, and on focussing greater attention on the really backward sec-
tions, preferably by applying an economic yardstick.· IMter
considering the observations of the Commissioner for SChedule
Castes and Scheduled Tribes in his Reports for the years 1956-57
and 1957-58, an authoritative pronouncement in the matter has
been made by the Estimates Committee in its Fortyeighth Report
for the year, 1958-59 as.follows :-
"While the Committee consider that it is desirable that
preference be given to the less advanced among the Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes in provision of all facilititfs, they
would like to observe that the tendency on the part of <some
castes and tribes to get themselves listed as backward merely
to get concessions is undesirable and must be discouraged. In ""~~,
this connection, the Committee would like to reproduce! below
an extract from the Report of the Commissioner for ..'Scbe-
duled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for 1956-57:-
'Backwardness has a tendency to perpetuate ,itself·,and
those who are listed as backward try to remain as;,sucb,
due to vari0l!s concessions and benefits they derive, and
thus backwardness becomes a vested interest.'

REVISION OF LISTS
18. Our general approach in reviewing the existing lists ha
been brought out in the preceding Chapter; at the present transi
tional stage in the social structure, it is just not possible or eve!
desirable to evolve a completely uniform pattern for the lists c
various States and Union Territories. The scope for th
rearrangement of the lists in a rational and scientific manner i
also limited. The case of each caste and tribe has to b

19. The present lists of Schedule Castes and Scheduled Trib(
have been drawn up separately for each State and Union Terr
tory. In the lists for many States, such Assam, Madhya Pradesl
Maharashtra and Kerala, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribt
have been specified with reference to certain localities (usual!
Districts or Tchsils) within the State. The result is that [
person can legally be regarded as a member of a Scheduled Casl
or a Scheduled Tribe for the purposes of the Constitution unle
he belongs to the listed caste or tribe, and also resides in t1
specified localities within the aforesaid States. This has no doul
led to anomalous results: members of the same caste or tribe froJ
the ethonological or social point of view are deprived of the sped
privileges and benefits merely because they reside in differeJ
States or different parts of the same State.
20. This anomaly has its origin in the lists prepared undl
the Government of India Act, 1935. The territorial restrictiOl
were then probably introduced either because the social disabil
ties attached to certain castes and tribes were appreciably mOl
distinctive in particular localities or because certain castes all
tribes were found to be concentrated in appreciable numbers onl
in the specified localities.
21. There has been considerable criticism, both within Parti;
ment and outside, that such "area
12 res,rictions" operate as a c1<
13
on social mobility as the communities concerned would confine
themselves to the specified areas lest they lose the special privileges
and benefits by moving out. It is rightly pointed out that, J
consistenly with the policy of social integration, the tribes in ='
particular should be encouraged to abandon their isolation and
freely intermix with the rest of the population. Another
argument, which has considerable force, is that as a result of the
spread of education, many boys and girls of the Scheduled Castes
and the- Scheduled Tribes who have attained secondary or univer.;.
sity levels of education have, in the absence of adequate educational
facilities nearer theif homes, to migrate to regional . cities .Qr
State headquarters or even outside the State to prosecute studies
in higher educational institutions of their choice. We are happy
to report that every State and Union Territory in India has.
appreciating these considerations, agreed to removal of the area
restrictions generally.
22. In some States, however, there are two social1y distinct
communities bearing the same name, but only one of them has,
been found to be deserving of inclusion in the list. There are
also a few cases where members of an ~ological group residing
in certain areas of a State have to De included in the list, but
members of the same group residing in the remaining areas of a
State are not eligible for such inclusion. In these two situations.
we are constrained to maintain the principle of area restrictions.
Fortunately, such cases are few and, by and large, we have been
able to remove area restrictions. It may incidentally be mentioned
that specification of castes and tribes in the lists with area
restrictions has been held by the Supreme Court not to be ultra
vires the Constitution (vide, Bhaiyalal v. Harikishan Singh and
Ors: Civil Appeal No. 765 of 1964, decided on the 5th Febr:uary.
1965: Unreported).
23. In the few cases where it has been founA necessary to
retain area restrictions, we have been informed that hardship is

by the issue of administrative instructions. Wherever possible,
we have also reduced the limiting effect of area restrictions by
adopting a new formula for listin~ the tribe or caste in question.
For eAample, where we have said "Caste A of District X", a
member of Caste A hailing from District X would be eligible to
be treated as belonging to a Scheduled Caste throughout the
State.

24. The second term of reference to the Committee requires
us to advise whether, where a caste or a tribe is listed as a
Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe in relation to a particular
State or Union Territory, members of that Caste or Tribe residing
iql other States and Union Territories should be rec?gnised as
belonging to a Scheduled Caste or to a Scheduled Tnbe, as the
case may be. In simpler language, the question would be
I
whether , instead of Statewise lists, there should. be an all-India
list of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tnbes. From the
Constitutional point of view, such an all-India list is not feasible;
:articles 341 and 342 require specification of castes and tribes
"'with .resp~ct to any ~tate ~r Union Territory" and envisage
~tatewlse hs~s. Accordmgly, If a member of a caste schedu~e~
In State A migrates to State B, h~ cannot ~c regarded a~ bclongll1g
to a Scheduled .Cast~ unless hiS caste IS scheduled In State :8
also. The speCificatIon of that caste as ~ .Scheduled Caste 10
State B would depend upon the local conditIons. However, the
situation is not so serious as to call for an amendment of~hc
Constitution. We have. found that, apart from tea plantation
labour and displaced persons from Pakistan, whose cases arc
considered separately later in this report, the inter-State mobility
of members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has
not so far been of mass dimensions and is restricted to individuals.
It often happens, however, that a few tribal communities inhabit
a hill or a forest region, part of which falls within one State and
part in another adjoining State. In such cases, we have made
sure that the lists of Scheduled Tribes of both such States include
I the names of these communities if they are found in appreciable
I
'i numbers on both sides of border. Among the Scheduled Castes,
.there are certain migrant communities such as PRADHI and
SANSI, which already figure in the lists of all the States where
they are found in appreciable numbers; similarly, members of
/';
me sweeper class are scheduled throughout India under various
1;'<
h :sy~onyms. Students of the Scheduled Cas~es and Scheduled
i Tnbes from some of the ~aste~ States, pa!tJcula~ly .As~am a~d
f'l Nagaland, have to .study 10 higher ed1!cahonal lDstlt.UtIonS In
1/ -other States; but thiS has not resulted lD ~y hardship because
the State concerned sponsors and finances Its students, though

there IS no pressmg need for domg away With the present practice

".-. , .-
Inclusion of communities . )
25. In view of our approach indicated in the .preceding
Chapter, we have been strict in making new additions to the
lists and have included thereon afresh only a very limited number
of castes and tribes, after convincing ourselves that they fully
satisfy the criteria, and have in the past been somehow over-
looked. Such cases are listed at Appendix IV.
Exclusions
26. A certain number of exclusions, as indicated in Appendix
V, most of which were proposed by the State Governments
themselves, have been agreed to; these communities, we are
satisfied, had previously been included by mistake, and do not
answer to the basic criteria. The State Government had very
little local information regarding some of the tribes and castes
when the lists were originally drawn up in 1950 and revised in
1956. It is only during the past five or six years, after the
Tribal Research Institutes were established, that they were able
to gather data. The Government of Orissa have proposed
exclusion of seven tribes from the list; the proposal has been,.
however, stoutly opposed, particularly by two members of
Parliament. '!he Commissioner for ~chedule4 Cas~ and
Sch~dule? ~nbe~ has rec~ended th~Ir exclUSIOn, while ~e
SOCialSCIentists lD. the RegIstrar-General s office fee~ that w!tile
these are bor:der-line cll;SCs,th~y would favour theIr reten!10n.
We have gamed the ImpressIon that two. of these trlbeS~
BHan:ADA an~ Bfl.UMIY A, are comparattvely advanced, .but
not ~avll~g suffiCient tim~ ~o ~ake a close. study of these tnbes
and lD VIew of the confl}CtiDgIdeas expr~ssed. before us, we are
unable t.o. make a speCific recommendation m reg~ to these
commuDIties.
27. We found a number of communities in the Schedul~~
of each State, for which no population was returned at the 1961 ...~.
Census. We have taken out of the lists such communities after
verifying, in consultation with the State Governments, that these
communities have not in fact come to the notice of the local
administrators. Most State Governments have also agreed that
tribes and castes not found in viable numbers should be removed
from the lists. In the case of a Scheduled Tribes, it may be
safely assumed that tribal characteristics cease to exist when the

cite an example, the population returned' in the State of Madras
for the KONDA REDDI tribe was 8. Of this, 3 were working
as labourers in Madras city, while the rest were spread over two
other, districts. It would be reasonable to infer in such cases
that these small groups have got aSSimilated with the genera!
population; in any case, it would be very difficult administratively
to trace these individuals with a view to afford them special
assistance. As for education, no hardship is likely to be caused
because of the introduction of free and compulsory education.
28. In the case of the Scheduled Castes, social disabilities
arising from the traditional practice of untouchability are likely
to be felt even if the population of an affected community within
a State is less than 100. It is, however, obvious that if there
is a cominunity with a population of less than 10 scattered in
various paits of a State, there is no justification for regarding it
:as a community, and the disabilities arising out of untouchability
would in practice be non-existent. We have, therefore, adopted
a population of 10 as the minimum limit in each State for any
co~imity continuing in the list of Scheduled Castes. As in the
case of the Scheduled Tribes, no hardship is likely to be caused
on this account.

Castes. We found that the same tribes-it would be more
scientific to refer to them as communities-have also been often
t: jncluded in the administrative lists of denotified and nomadic
I':.:"
v
Ji'
I tribes maintained by the State Governments for special treatment.
Another anomaly is that the same community (for example,
PARDHI) is listed as a Scheduled Tribe in one State (e.g.,
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra), while in a neighbouring
St~te (e.g., Rajasthan) it is listed as a Scheduled Caste. This
anOri1al~us classification appears to have had its origin in the
fact., that members of the denotified and nomadic communities
posses:s a.;complex combination of tribal characteristics, traditional
untpu~hability, nomadic traits, and an anti-social heritage. We
find t~at no special and detailed study of these communties has
been und,ertaken during the past fifteen years; our discussions
with 'the State Governments, however, revealed that the type of
development schemes usually, designed for Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes have not benefited the denotified and nomadic
17
tribes to any significant extent because of their relatively-small
numbers, and their tendency to be constantly on the mo.ve; It'
is also clear that while these communities may possess some of
the characteristics usually associated with the Scheduled caStes
and Scheduled Tribes, the dominant factors which govem their
life are their anti-social heritage and tendency to move from
place to place in small groups. We are inclined to feel that it
would be in the best interests of these communities if they' are
taken out from the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
and treated exclusively as a distinctive group, with development
schemes specially designed to suit their dominant characteristics.
However, it was brought to our notice that some of the denotified
communities such as BAGRI and PASI have, during the past ten
years, settled down to normal agriculture and deserve to be
treated differently from other communities such as the KANJAR
who still have an affinity for crime and flair for nomadic i life.
Again, the tendency towards crime and, to a lesser extent, the
nomadic trait, apparently varies from one community to another;
it is also said that the small number of some of the denotified
communities who still resort to crime have to be treated differently
from other members of the same community who are inclined to
settle down peacefully. In the absence of adequate information,
and due to the limitation on our time, we are not in a position to
decide on merits the cases of individual communities .. We
have, therefore, no option but to maintain the status quo,ante.
We suggest that the present anomalous position regarding the
denotified and nomadic tribes, who could more properly be
identified as yommunities rather than tribes, should be rectified
as soon asA50ssible after a detailed investigation.

disabilities arising from untouchability are practically non-

of North Bengal, Assam, Manipur and Tripura. The numb~r
of people involved is approximately 20 lakhs.
32. The question whether such migrant tribes should be:
treated as Scheduled Tribes in their new habitat has engaged the
attention of· the Government of lndia and various committees
set up by them in the past. The Backward Classes Commission
was of the opinion that "these groups are quite backward socially
and educationally and should be included in the list of Other
Backward Classes". Similarly, the Scheduled Areas and Sche-
duled Tribes Commission did not insist on immigrant tribal labour
being regarded as Scheduled Tribes; the Chairman of the Com-
mission, in his letter forwarding the' Report, has stated that "in
our opinion a~sistance is needed in order to enable it to malotain
contacts with its home and, more especially maintain its way of

reported that settlers in the tea estates have tended to lose their
tribal characteristics in the new surroundings, and that special.

Scientifi!: Grouping of Communities
34. Hitherto, no systematic attempt appears to have been.
made to list castes and tribes in the scheduled according to:
generic names, synonyms and sub-groups. With the cooperation.
of the office of the Registrar-General of Census, the State Gov-
ernments, Tribal Research Institutes and some others who,
appeared before us, we have been able to rearrange the lists of.
individual States scientifically; an attempt has also been made.
to ensure that lists of neighbouring States follow a coordinated
and scientific pattern. A few difficulties have arisen in such.
classification because social scientists are inclined to follow the..
classification adopted over fifty years ago in standard works.·
such as those by Thurston and Ibbotson, while the administrators..
prefer to follow the current factual position and status as known,
to the local officers. Even in such difficult cases, we have usually;
been able to produce an acceptable solution.
35. Recent decisions of the Supreme Court have given rise-
to a problem concerning the listing of synonyms, phonetic'
variations, sub-tribes and sub-castes. In the past, the Depart-·
ments concerned in the Government of India and the State Gov-
ernments were acting on the view that if a main caste or tribe
is specified, all groups, sub-castes or sub-tribes within that caste'
or tribe are automatically included, and that the groups, sub--
castes and sub-tribes need not be separately specified. However,
on an analysis of the lists, the Supreme Court came to a different.:
conclusion. In Civil Appeal No. 401 of 1964 (B. Basavalin •.
gappa v. D. Munichinnappa and others), decided on the 23rd:
September, 1964, the Supreme Court observed: -,.
~
.:
"It may be accepted that' it is not open to make ah~.¥
modification in the Order by producing evidence to show: •.
(for example) that though caste A alone is mentioned in,
the Order, caste B is also a part of caste A and therefore'
must be deemed to be included in caste A. It may also be'
acce~ed th~t wherev~r one cas~e ~as another name it has bee1l'
at, mentioned 10 brackets after It 10 the Order: [See: Arya:

.This view is reiterated in the subsequent decision in Bhaiyalal v.
.Harikishan Singh and others (sppra). The present lists enl.lme-
rate some synonyms, sub-castes and sub-tribes only, either
separately or under the main caste or tribe, but in the light of
these rulings, it would be necessary to include in the lists of
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes a comprehensive com-
pendium of all local synonyms, phonetic variations, sub>-castes
i and sub-tribes for each caste and tribe. It would indeed be a
i
,difficult-nay, well-nigh impossible-task to prepare exhaustive
lists of all sub-groups and synonyms. It is to be noted that the
names by which certain groups and sub-groups are known vary
from district to district and even from area to area within a
district. Moreover, there is a tendency for castes and sub-
,groups to give themselves new and fanciful names from time to
time, and resent being called by any other name. As a result of
our enquiries, we have added the local names of the more impor-
tant groups and sub-groups, but to get over the difficult resulting
from the rulings of the Supreme Court, we suggest that in modi-
fying the Orders under articles 341 and 342, it should be provided
expressly that a caste or a tribe specified in the list shall be deemed
to include all its synonyms, phonetic variations, sub-castes and
, sub-tribes .
!;:: 36; There was a heterogeneous mixture of singular and
plural terminology in the existing lists. To the extent possible,
we have uniformally adopted the masculine singular terminology.

41. In Assam, it has been the practice, because of the Sixth
Schedule to the Constitution, to discriminate between the Sche-
.duled Tribes of the hill areas and those of the plains districts;
the five year development plans have a distinc.t bias in favour ?f
the hill tribes in spite of the fact that the educatIonal and economic
levels of the plains tribals are admit!edly muc.h lo~e~ than those
of hill tribes. In Tripura, the social group1Og IS 10 a settled
state and the problems there are related not so much tOi:ribals
.as to the displaced persons migrating from East Pakistan.
42. It is clear that in the educational, political, social and
,economic fields, many of the tribes in Nagalan~, Manipur and, in
most of the hill districts of Assam have attamed levels which
,cannot be reached by the other tribes of India for many years to
,come; comparison between them is, therefore, ruled o~t. At
one stage, we thought it would be useful to have the ,tnbes ~n

Revised Lists
44-A. The complete list of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes, as revised by us, appears at Appendix VII.
Effect on Population
j"
45. We have tried to assess the effect of our revision of the
lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes on their recorded'
population. According to the 1961 Census, the populati·:>n of
Scheduled Castes was approximately 65 millions and that of the
Scheduled Tribes about 30 millions. (Incidentally, both these
together constitute over 21 per cent of the total population of
J ndia.) After taking into consideration the population of castes
and tribes excluded from the revised lists, and on an estimate of
the population of castes and tribes added to these lists, there will
not be any appreciable change in the population of the Scheduled
Castes, while the population of Scheduled Tribes will increase
by a little less than two millions.
CHAPTER IV
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
46. In revising the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes, we have excluded some castes and tribes. These excluded
~astes and tribes are already enjoying certain educational,
-economic and other developmental benefits. We are of the
view that they should not be deprived of these benefits abruptly;
whe are participating in scholarship schemes should not be
suddenly denied their scholarship benefits, thereby compelling
benefits enjoyed by the excluded castes and tribes should be
gradually withdrawn in a phased manner.
47. There !lre some communities which, though not strictly
eligible to be treated as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes,
deserve special assistance. It would not be sufficient to treat
them merely as "Other Backward Classes" as they require larger
aid than is provided to Other Backward Classes. The com-
munities which we have in mind are the Gujjar, Gaddi and
Banjara communities.
48. In the course of the revision of the lists, we have at
times adopted local names and synonyms and altered the spelling
of some castes and tribes. These nominal changes should not
affect continuation of privileges and benefits to those castes and
tribes subjected to such changes. It would be for the State
Governments to ensure that the castes and tribes whose names
are altered in the revised list are not denied th6 ..benefits they
were previously entitled to. The State Governments should be
advised
rities..•..•to issued necessary instructions to the appropriate a-q~-_ ...•. ""'.

49. We have advised that where a caste or a tribe is men-

tioned in the lists by its generic name, it should be deemed to
include all its synonyms, phonetic variations, sub-castes or sub-
tribes, as the case may be. We have no doubt enumerated in
some cases the sub-castes and sub-tribes but such an enumeration
is imperfect and is not exhaustive for want of complete data. The
State Governments should collect the necessary information and

try to prepare a comprehensive list of sub-castes and sub-tribes

and give such lists wide publicity. Such lists are necessary for
the guidance of local officials and non-officials authorised to issue CHAPTER V
caste and tribe certificates; they will also prove very useful for
the proper enumeration of sub-groups of the Scheduled Castes APPRECIA nON
and the Scheduled Tribes at the next census.
