Abstract:

Gujjars are semi-nomadic tribes of Jammu and Kashmir who have been given Scheduled Tribe (ST) status due to their migratory and backward nature. The Gujjars are primarily nomads who move from plains to the higher altitudes with their cattles as part of their annual season journeys with their livestock. The literacy rate among the Gujjars community is low in comparison to other twelve scheduled tribe communities in the state. The present paper stresses on the status of education among the semi-nomadic Gujjar children in South Kashmir. The study aims to find out the reasons behind educational ba

The educational status of Scheduled Tribes in Jammu and Kashmir highlights significant disparities compared to the overall state averages.

In Manipur, tribals face economic, social, and political disadvantages, prompting their listing as ST under Part X of the Constitutional ST Order, 1950. This article examines the characteristics o

Twenty years have passed since human rights arrived in India, and the Indian constitution also includes provisions for their protection.

Abstract:

Much of the problems associated with contentious identities in contemporary India can be traced to British colonial ethnographic constructs and categories which tended to rigidly fix identities which had been much more fluid in pre-colonial times. The colonial legacy continued in post-colonial India, impelling castes and communities to negotiate and renegotiate their identities and constitutional positions. One such community is the Lambada of Telangana. Historically a pastoral community involved in cattle breeding and caravan trade, they were designated as ‘criminal tribes’ under colonial rul

Abstract:

Scheduled tribes (ST) in India are distinct indigenous groups by their unique social structures, cultural practices, and socioeconomic characteristics. They are often economically disadvantaged and socially marginalized, exhibiting a homogenous identity within their social and geographical boundaries. The backwardness includes uneven literacy growth, economy, human development, immunization patterns, nutritional levels, and overall health conditions. Considering these factors with prior studies, this research explored the socio-demographic and economic status of STs in West Bengal. West Bengal

In the second part of the Social Change Indicator series, we provide information from government survey data on the work opportunities for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and non-SC-ST class in the rural India. 1 Our data refers to 18 states which covers more than 95 per cent of the SC or ST population in the country. The generation of employment continues to remain one of the key political economic challenges in India despite the achievements of its high economic growth rates in the past two decades. The problem remains complicated due to the nature of the country’s labour market

Abstract This paper uses data from the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS) for India for 2019–21 to present estimates of contemporary caste gaps in education, occupational distribution, and wealth between three broad groups: Scheduled Castes–Scheduled Tribes (SC–ST), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and Others, the latter being a proxy for higher-ranked castes and communities. We find the caste gaps continue to be significant, indicating the persistence of the traditional caste hierarchy. We then assess how these gaps have evolved since the previous round of NFHS (2015–16). We find converge
