It was usual in all censuses to collect and publish information on race, tribes and castes. The Constitution lays down that "the state shall promote with special care educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people and, in parti­ cular, of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation". To assist states in fulfiHing their responsibility in this regard the 1961 Census provided a series of special tabulations of the social and economic data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are notified by the Presi· dent under the Constitution and the Parliament is empowered to include or exclude from the lists any caste or tribe. No other source can claim the same authenticity and comprehensiveness as the census of India to help the Government in taking de· cisions on matters such as these.

  • A Study of Mahasha Community in Hiranagar Tehsil
    International Journal of Advanced Research and Publications ISSN: 2456-9992 Social Exclusion And Horizontal Mobility Among Local Society: A Study Of Mahasha Community In Hiranagar Tehsil Jasbir Singh, Dr. Neharica Subhash Director, Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, University of Jammu Professional Assistant, Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, University of Jammu, [email protected] Abstract: The caste system is arguably the most distinctive feature in Indian society. The Indian population is divided into four hierarchical classes or Varna‘s with large sub population of untouchables excluded entirely from the system. Recent genetic evidence indicates that this rule has been followed for over 2,000 years. Spatial segregation on caste lines with in the village results in a high degree of local social connectedness with caste clusters in distant villages and select urban locations linked to each other through marriage over many generations. Under the effect of certain intense variables, caste system is experiencing extraordinary changes in modern India. The rapid improvement of transportation and correspondence are additionally in charge of the breaking down of Caste system to some degree. The nullification of different social issues which are made by Caste System in Indian culture is the principal point of the social change development. Indian caste system is profoundly influenced by the political development. The rigid barriers of caste not only practice the most pungent form of exclusion but also regulate economic and social life. The caste systems fundamental characteristics of fixed civil, cultural and economic rights for each caste with restrictions for change, imply forced exclusion of one‘s caste to from undertaking the occupation of other castes.

    GLOS3AHY OF CAS'rE NAIVllid RE'fURNED AT TH~ CEI'4SUS O}t' 1951 IN THE DISrRICTS OF PEPSU -_FOREWORD----_ .... ---- ..... __.... At the Oensus of 1951 there was a limited enumeration and tabulation of castes. Under the limited enumeration caste was recorded as returned by the respondent. Several complications arose out of this procedure. Many persons who returned their caste by generic or synonymous Scheduled Caste or tribe names not found in the prescribed lists were left out of the count of Scheduled Castes and Tribes and are-count had to be later ordered in some states. The Backward Classes Commission could not be provided with the 1951 population of individual castes and tribes or their individua~ educational and economic characteristics. 2. If a complete enumeration of castes is ordered at the next census much preliminary study will have to be carried out in order to ensure correct and rational enumeration and tabulation. For that purpose and, in fact, for any systematic enumeration of castes, a glossary of caste names as returned at the 1951 Census would be invaluable. This explains the prepara~ion of t~is glossary. 3. The Glossary has been prepared by running through all the male slips relating to the non-backward classes and the five per cent sample male slips of Backward Classes and sh~uld, therefore, be a complete list of caste names. All caste names as found in the slips have been deliberately included in the Glossary without any attempt at rationalisation. Many of these names are synonymous; some relate to sub-castes or gotras; and some are only generic names.

Research Scholar Department of Sociology, Panjab University Chandigarh, India 2Punjab group of colleges Pattoki Campus, Pakistan ABSTRACT The present paper deals with the socio-cultural statuses of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population in Jammu and Kashmir. It explains the detail analysis of their existence along with sociological status in the society. There is a remarkable number of populations of these two communities residing in Chenab valley, Pir-Panchal areas, Kandi belt of Jammu division and few are in Kashmir division. These castes are the victim of strong social exclusion in the region. There are 7% of scheduled castes, 12% of scheduled tribe in Jammu and Kashmir out of 1.25 crore total population as reported by Census 2011. These communities are deprived of political empowerment and social prestige as compare to other existing communities in the region. They have most backward economy and traditional cultural hierarchy. On the basis of literature review and secondary datas collected from government offices, it is found that no enhancement initiative has been taken to uplift these disadvantageous castes in the region. They are grappling with slow pace of socio-cultural development. Educational upliftment of these castes is the need of hour by involving government policies, Non- government organizations, and community participation as whole.

  • Untouchability and Reforms in Jammu and Kashmir State (Till 1947)
    ISSN 2394-9694 International Journal of Novel Research in Humanity and Social Sciences Vol. 2, Issue 4, pp: (24-27), Month: July - August 2015, Available at: www.noveltyjournals.com Untouchability and Reforms in Jammu and Kashmir State (till 1947) Mrs. Deepika Sharma Ph.D Scholar, Department of History, University of Jammu, Jammu, India Abstract: Untouchability was considered as an offshoot of the distorted form of caste system in India. It had little of religious sanction behind it and the conservatism of the Hindus was believed to have kept it alive. The untouchables were condemned to permanent social degradation, denied elementary civic rights and excluded all public places. It was, however, in the sub-montane districts of the Jammu province where the Hindu elements preponderated that the distinction between the higher and the lower caste was acute and the idea of pollution by touch was prominent. Moreover, the caste rigidity and social exclusiveness regarding inter-dinning and inter- marriage had the forces of religious law here, and therefore, the untouchables were regarded as a distinct community of inferior status, debarred from free intercourse with the superior Hindu castes on term of equality. Keywords: Arya Samaj Movement, Education, Harijans, Reforms, Scholarships, Untouchability Act. I. INTRODUCTION The Hindu society had been divided into the caste and subcastes based on type of work and birth. The fourth caste, Shudras, began to be maltreated by the interested people to dominate them for their selfish interests. This treatment of superiority created the „inferior class‟ who adopted the menial professions to serve their feudalist masters. Afterwards they began to be called and treated as “untouchables”.

  • A Study on Distribution of Morphological, Behavioral and Serological Traits in Three Endogamous Groups of Scheduled Castes in Jammu and Kashmir
    Cibtech Journal of Zoology ISSN: 2319–3883 (Online) An Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/cjz.htm 2013 Vol. 2 (1) January-April, pp.47-50/Chadha and Sandhu Research Article A STUDY ON DISTRIBUTION OF MORPHOLOGICAL, BEHAVIORAL AND SEROLOGICAL TRAITS IN THREE ENDOGAMOUS GROUPS OF SCHEDULED CASTES IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR *Pooja Chadha and Sandeep Kaur Sandhu Department of Zoology, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar -143005, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT In the present study the distribution of morphogenetic, behavioural and serological traits have been reported among three schedule castes viz. Bhagat, Mahasha and Batwal of Jammu and Kashmir. For the purpose, a survey was conducted and frequencies of different traits were calculated. It was observed that the frequency distribution of various traits among the studied populations shows the homogeneous distribution and intercaste difference among all the traits was found to be statistically non-significant. Key Words: Morphogenetic Traits, Behavioural Traits, Serological Traits Schedule Castes, Jammu And Kashmir INTRODUCTION The Indian subcontinent is inhabited by people of great diversity, different creeds and customs creating multiple societies. There are about 3000 castes in India, some have genesis in tribal stock while others are occupational, linguistic, religious, territorial and so forth. Such a diverse population of India offers a great opportunity to study genetic variability. The various morphological and behavioral characters can be utilized profitability to investigate genetic variation within and among human populations (Boyd, 1950) though the mode of inheritance of all these characters is still rather unclear. Many populations in India have been investigated for their morphogenetic profile in order to understand the interpopulation relationships and variations (Seth et al., 1969, Chattopadhay 1970, Kalia and Gupta 1978, Singh et al., 1979 and Balgir 1982).
