Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine how legal pluralism exists in Santal society and how their self-governing socio-political and judicial system, eminently known as Manjhi-Pargana or Marehor, exercises power over the society exclusively with the coexistence of the national legal system. Legal pluralism is the coexistence of two or multiple legal systems within a specific area. The Santal, one of the largest indigenous tribes of Eastern India, often mentions themselves as HorHopan meaning children of mankind. The Montage-Chelmsford report of 1918 remarked them as backward areas. Around 1935, Santals are recognized as backward tribes in India and are scheduled as tribes. In post-independent era under the Fifth and Sixth schedule of the Constitution, they have been described as people of ‘scheduled areas.’ The Indian Constitution has tried to build up the bridge between the Indian administrative system and the Santal society and has allowed them to enjoy the legal pluralism system.

Abstract:
Adivasis of Assam, whose forefathers had migrated to Assam Tea Gardens in search of their food and livelihood as the labourers, today, they are popularly known as Tea Tribes. These tea tribes are not enlisted in the list of Scheduled tribes by the Assam government, though; their brethrens are scheduled tribes in Chotanagpur of central India. Surprisingly, the Scheduled tribes of Assam also do net recognize them as the tribe; and their agony and apathy often results into conflict and bloodshed. This paper deals with the background of Adivasis in Assam in the first part, and the second part deals with the Socio-economic situation of Adivasis of Assam. In the third part, a discussion on the concept of tribe as understanding the tribe has been done, and finally some issues and concern for Adivasis have been discussed.

Abstract:
Atrocities against Schedule caste is the scope and subject matter of this paper. Moreover, in this paper we will be discussing in detail the atrocities against the scheduled caste in India with special reference to the type, causes for the crimes and the impact it has on the people of the scheduled caste and tribes. The atrocities against these marginalized castes can be traced back by their historical background which depicts the emergence of crime and ill treatment against these castes which is too painful to be forgotten. The critical analysis of the crime rate against the schedule caste across the decade made us acknowledge the fact that even after achieving freedom in 1947, India is still captured by the clutches of brutal caste system due to which the atrocities have been suffered by these schedule caste and tribe in the era of modernity and technological development. Even the legislative support provided in the Indian Constitution and various special laws for schedule caste by various jurist have not been able to prevent them the way they should be due to various lacuna in the implementation procedure as well as lacuna in the administration system. This paper further elaborates the research methodology and findings of various research work.

Abstract:
This paper reports on the economic and political consequences of reserving government and public-sector jobs for members of the Scheduled Tribes in the Indian State of Bihar. It also contributes to a more general debate on the system of compensatory discrimination that has existed in India since the 1940s, and which was made tangible for middle class Indians by the decision of the government of V. P. Singh (1989–90) to adopt some of the recommendations of the Second Backward Classes Commission (1979–80: chairman B. P. Mandal). The Mandal Commission report advised that a system of reserved jobs in central government could usefully be extended from the Scheduled Castes and Tribes of India (roughly 15 and 7.5 percent of the population, respectively) to embrace a broader collection of Socially and Economically Backward Classes.1 In August 1990 V. P. Singh found it expedient to act upon Mandal's suggestion that up to 49.5 percent of all jobs in central government services and public undertakings should be reserved for the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

Abstract:
Reservation is always contentious and sentimental issue and raises many concerns of the people. The policy of reservation and safeguards provided to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes has adversely affected the unity and solidarity of the nation. Reservation in India is all about reserving access to seats in the government jobs, educational institutions and even legislatures to certain sections of the population. The reservation can also be seen as positive discrimination. Reservation in India is a government policy, backed by the Indian Constitution. Part XVI deals with reservation of SC and ST in Central and state legislature. The need for reservation can be looked from legal and socio-cultural perspective. The act of reservation is reserving seats in educational institutions, certain places of employment for certain castes and classes of society which are considered backward, those being the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Castes. Reservation is an effective measure to end the oppressive discrimination. Reservation facilitates empowerment and social harmony for all in the segments.

Abstract:
Most of the scheduled tribes live in rural areas, and their livelihood mainly depends on agriculture and forest. Forest and forest-based products remain as their primary resource subsistence. Their pattern of shifting cultivation replaced with settle farming. After the introduction of globalisation, the Indian economy opened its exports and imports to the global market. In the process, the intervention of non-tribal community to the tribal regions has become as one of the problematic policy issues to the traditional tribal communities. The traditional livelihood practices of the scheduled tribes in India affected due to extraction of natural resources. The state controls most of the natural resources that existed in the tribal regions without the consent of the local community. In the context of globalisation and its trajectories across the tribal regions, the current paper discusses how globalisation affects the traditional livelihood practices of the scheduled tribes in India.

Universal Basic Income and 10 kgs Rice need a person to Indian People with Special Reference to Hunger Problem of Scheduled Tribe in Rural Andhra Pradesh & Dr. ERICHARLA RAJU, UGC Dr.S.Radha Krishna Post Doctoral Research Associate (5years) (Double PDF), Dept of Economics, Acharya Nagarjuana University, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Dr. ERICHARLA RAJU ABSTRACT India has the second largest concentration of tribal population in the world next to Africa. For centuries they lived a life of geographical isolation. In India primitive tribes have lived for thousands of years in forests and hills without any type of contacts with centers of civilization. There is a need for integrating them into the main stream of the society as rightful members, failing which, the ethnic division would persist and deepen, which is dangerous for the very existence of human sanity. Indian population consists of 8 per cent of tribal population in the country. Present article discuss about the hunger problem of scheduled tribe in rural Andhra Pradesh. The presents article examined the an analysis of agriculture status of scheduled tribes in India with special reference to agriculture status of scheduled tribes in Andhra Pradesh rural, in my research Out of per 1000 distribution of rural scheduled tribes’ households do not possess land the 101 households in India. Out of per 1000 distribution of Rural households of different social groups do not possess the land 83 households in all India. Out of per 1000 distribution of rural households of scheduled tribes do not have land 372 household in all rural India. Out of per 1000 distribution of rural households of different social groups do not have land 454 household in all rural India. In my research, Out of 459 respondents majority of 94.6% (434) respondents do not possess the land, and another 5.4% (25) respondents possess the land. Maximum value of the land of one acre of respondents is 5,50,000/- and the minimum value of the land of one acre of respondents is 90,000 /-. The minimum spent the money on Fertilizers and other inputs to one acre is 1900/-, the maximum spent the money on Fertilizers and other inputs to one acre is 12000/-.The maximum total cost of one acre is 60000/-, the minimum total cost of one acre of the respondents is 4900/- . The maximum one acre products value is 40,000/-, the minimum one acre production value of the respondents is 9000/-. The maximum total profit of products is 30,000/-, minimum total profit of production of respondents is 4970 /-. The maximum total loss by products is 55,000/-, the minimum total loss of the respondents by products is 13200/-. Out of 12 respondents majority of 83.2(10) are having the cows, and 16.7 %( 2) are having the buffalos. The maximum value of the animals is 90,000/-, the minimum value of the animals is 23000/-.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of the community of Siddis in Uttara Kannada district. I will describe and discuss, mostly in aspects related to the Scheduled Tribe status, the problem of reservations, the question of education, language, the work scenario and finally I will briefly analyse how religion is practised among the Siddi Christians and its influence on their lives. Issues of citizenship and national belonging, social and political agency inevitably impose themselves to my analysis. Although the Siddis share a common ethnic pool and similar economic conditions, they are subdivided by their belonging to three major religions, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. I hope to have helped to understand how the Siddis have been living in obscurity for nearly five centuries. In India’s complex hierarchy of castes and tribes, the Siddis are classified as a tribe or adivasis and only in 2003 were the Siddis of Uttara Kannada granted the much-coveted Scheduled Tribe status that provides them reservations and representation to a large extent. The concession and enforcement of the Scheduled Tribe status has been contentious and fraught with controversy. While well intentioned, most of the schemes are flawed and not properly enforced which leave the Siddis in a difficult predicament. They haven’t all been informed of the benefits that accrue to them owing to their new status and hence this is a cause for confusion and disappointment. This problem has also been exacerbated by the issue of corruption, lack of knowledge and information from the authorities. What kind of citizen is the Siddi?. The Siddi is discriminated against by his non-Siddi counterpart on account of his physical appearance and is a victim of stereotyping. Siddis do not have proper access to education In terms of jobs, Siddis are left to do menial jobs. Of course, this is a natural outcome of lack of education. Siddis are discriminated in public offices and banks and often are unable to receive social and economic benefits that are due them in spite of reservations that allow for a special status to the Siddis.
Esta tese é um estudo da comunidade de Siddis no distrito de Uttara Kannada. Descreverei e analisarei, nomeadamente no que diz respeito ao estatuto de Tribo Identificada, o problema da reserva territorial, a questão da educação, língua, da força de trabalho e finalmente analisarei de forma breve como é que a religião é praticada pelos cristãos Siddis e respectiva influência nas suas vidas. Questões de cidadania e de nacionalidade, de actuação social e política fazem inevitavelmente parte da minha análise. Embora os Siddis partilhem um enquadramento étnico e condições económicas semelhantes, encontram-se subdivididos pelas três maiores religiões do país, o Hinduísmo, o Islamismo e o Cristianismo. Espero ter contribuído para que se compreenda como os Siddis têm vivido na obscuridade por cerca de cinco séculos. Na complexa hierarquia das castas e tribos da Índia, os Siddis são classificados como uma tribo ou adivasis e só em 2003 foi garantido aos Siddis de Uttara Kannada o já há muito desejado estatuto de Tribo Identificada que lhes providencia reservas territoriais e ampla representatividade. A concessão e implementação do estatuto de Tribo Identificada tem sido contenciosa e controversa. Embora bem intencionados, muitos dos esquemas foram tempestuosos e mal implementados deixando os Siddis numa difícil condição. Não foram de todo informados sobre os benefícios que lhes foram atribuídos pelo novo estatuto, o que foi uma causa de confusão e desapontamento. Este problema também foi exarcebado pela questão da corrupção, falta de conhecimento e de informação por parte das autoridades. Que espécie de cidadão é o Siddi? O Siddi é discriminado negativamente pela sua componente não-Siddi devido à sua aparência física sendo uma vítima da estereotipazação. Os Siddis não têm acesso adequado à educação. No que se refere ao emprego, os Siddis acabam por só desempenhar trabalhos inferiores. Claro que isto é um resultado natural da ausência de eduação. Os Siddis são discriminados nas repartições públicas e bancos, sendo muitas vezes impedidos de receber benefícios sociais e económicos que lhes são devidos apesar das disposições que permitem aos Siddis um estatuto especial.

Abstract:
Lodhas are marginalized scheduled tribe groups in West Bengal, India. They were labeled as criminal tribes until the revocation of the Criminal Tribes’ Act of 1952. Lodha is an Indo-Aryan language, spoken by Lodhas in some villages in West Bengal, India. This paper has four objectives. First, this paper discusses the effect of dominant languages. Here we attempt to study the impact of Bangla on the Lodha language. This paper discusses the language attitude of Loedha community. To develop their economy, these communities attempt to interact with the non-tribal Indo-Aryan populations and thus attempt to forget their own language. The paper then discusses in detail the Lodha language attitude, thus landscaping the present condition of Lodha. We then discuss the socio-economic condition of Lodha, and how this condition creates a barrier for these people. Finally, this paper aims to assess the nature and degree of language endangerment of Lodha based on UNESCO’s Language Vitality and Endangerment framework.

Abstract:
Short fiber-reinforced polymer composites are used in numerous tribological applications. In the present work, an attempt has been made to improve the wear resistance of short glass fiber (SGF) reinforced polypropylene composites by incorporation of micro-sized Linz-Donawitz slag (LDS) particles. Composites with different LDS content (0, 7.5, 15 and 22.5 wt%) in a polypropylene matrix base with 20 wt% SGF reinforcement are prepared by injection molding technique. Solid particle erosion trials, as per ASTM G76 test standards, are conducted on the composite samples following a well-planned experimental schedule based on Taguchi design-of-experiments. Significant process parameters predominantly influencing the rate of erosion are identified. The study reveals that the LDS content and impact velocity are the most significant among various factors influencing the wear rate of these composites. Further, a prediction model based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to predict the erosion performance of the composites under a wide range of erosive wear conditions. This work shows that an ANN model is quite helpful in saving time and resources that are required for a large number of experimental trials and thus, successfully predicts the erosion rate of composites both within and beyond the experimental domain.

Full text
Abstract:
The present paper is a salvage Linguistic Anthropology, in which attempt has been made to document a nearly-extinct language known as māṅgtā bhāsā, and to suggest appropriate measures for saving it from complete extinction. The word māṅgtā is said to have been derived from māṅā, which means ‘to ask for’ or ‘to beg’. The language is spoken by a few groups of the Bedia, which is a Scheduled Tribe (ST) in India with a population of 88,772 as per Census of India, 2011(Risley [1891]1981; Bandyopadhyay 2012, 2016, 2017). Bedia is a generic name for a number of vagrant gypsy like groups which Risley has divided into seven types. They live by a number of professions such as snake-charming, selling of medicinal herbs, showing chameleon art or multi-forming. Almost all of them have become speakers of more than one language for interacting with speakers of different languages in the neighbourhood for the sake of their survival. Even the present generation has almost forgotten their native speech, and their unawareness of the language becoming extinct is of concern to us. Elders still remember it and use it sometimes in conversations with the fellow members of their community. The ability to speak this language is construed with regard to the origin of this particular group of Bedia. In fact, the language had given them the identity of a separate tribal community while they demanded the status of ST in the recent past. Thus, socio-historically, the māṅgtā language has a special significance. In spite of being a distinct speech, there has been almost no study conducted on this language. This is one of the major motives for taking up the present endeavour. This project conducts morphological, phonological, syntactical and semantic studies on the māṅgtā language. Sociolinguistic aspects of this language have also been considered. The language has its roots in the Indo-European language family with affinity to the Austro-Asiatic family. The paper interrogates whether māṅgtā can be called language or speech. The study required ethnographic field work, audio-visual archiving, and revitalization, along with sustainable livelihood protection of speakers of the language.

Full text
Abstract:
Linz-Donawitz slag (LDS) is a major solid waste generated in huge quantities during steel making. Although a number of ways for its utilization have been suggested in the past, its potential as a possible erosion resistant coating material has not yet been explored. This work is an attempt to develop functional coatings of this LDS on metal substrates by plasma spraying. The coating deposition is carried out using an 80 kW atmospheric plasma spray system working in non-transferred arc mode at different torch input powers (10–24 kW). Coatings are characterized in terms of their thickness and adhesion strength. Coating deposition efficiency is calculated to assess the coatability and XRD is done to ascertain the phases present in the coating. It is found that the operating power levels of the plasma torch affect the adhesion strength, deposition efficiency and mean thickness of the coatings. Solid particle erosion trials, as per ASTM G76 test standards, are conducted on the coating samples following a well planned experimental schedule based on Taguchi design of experiments. This work reveals that LDS is eminently coatable with deposition efficiency as high as 33% and can be gainfully used as a cost-effective wear resistant coating material.
