Revisiting Philosophical Foundations of Constitutional Guarantees
Concept Note: With a population of 104.3 million, the indigenous/tribal peoples in
India are recognized as ‘Scheduled Tribes’ by the Indian Constitution.
Out of 5,653 distinct communities in India, 700 of them are considered
to be ‘Scheduled Tribes’ notified under Article 342 of the Constitution
of India. The Constitution of India, which came into existence on 26th
January 1950, addresses Indigenous peoples or Scheduled Tribes in as

and special schedules are protective and ameliorative in nature. Article
341 and 342 provide for classification of Scheduled Tribes, while
Article 330, 332 and 334 provide for reservation of seats in Parliament

of the country’s land in various ecological and geo-climatic habitats,
ranging from plains and forest to hills and inaccessible areas. They are

used for the purpose of administering certain specific constitutional
privileges, protection and benefits from the state. [Read More..]
