Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes

The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are two groups of historically disadvantaged people recognised in the Constitution of India. During the period of British rule in the Indian subcontinent, they were known as the Depressed Classes. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes comprise about 16.6 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively, of India's population. The Constitution Order, 1950 lists 1,108 castes across 25 states in its First Schedule, and the Constitution Order, 1950 lists 744 tribes across 22 states in its First Schedule. Since independence, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes were given Reservation status, guaranteeing political representation. The Constitution lays down the general principles of affirmative action for SCs and STs.
