The Census Organisation has been bringing out the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) population figures with their cultural and demographic characteristics for each State and UT separately since 1951 Census. This is mandatory to meet the constitutional requirements relating to these weaker sections of the society. In each decennial Census since 1951, SCs and STs population have been enumerated strictly in accordance with the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950 and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950, as amended from time to time. These Presidential Orders contain the lists of SCs and STs notified in pursuance of Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution in respect of each State and Union Territory separately which are valid within its jurisdiction. INTRODUCTION INDIA The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Orders (Amendment) Act, 1990 which pertains to modification in paragraph 3 of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, was strictly followed for the purpose of enumeration of SCs population in the country. The persons professing Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism only deem to be members Scheduled Castes under the Constitutional Order, 1950 and the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Orders (Amendment) Act, 1990. There is no religion bar in case of Scheduled Tribes. For the States of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and the UTs of A&N Islands and Lakshadweep, only ST data have been given as no SC list exists in these State/UTs. Likewise, in the States of Haryana and Punjab and UTs of Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry only SC data have been provided because there is no notified ST in these States/UTs. INTRODUCTION INDIA At the 2001 Census, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976 was in force in most of the States/UTs. A few more Orders specifying Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes were promulgated in respect of some States and UTs after 2001 Census and prior to 2011 Census viz. i) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002, ii) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Orders (Second Amendment) Act, 2002, iii) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002, iv) The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order (Amendment) Act, 2007 and v) The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Act, 2008 and vi)The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) (Union Territories) Orders (Amendment) Act, 2008. INTRODUCTION INDIA Consequent to the above 6 Constitutional 0rders/ Amendments modifications took place in the SCs list and STs lists of 22 and 20 States/UTs respectively. In the SCs list of ten states and one UT, 20 new castes have been added as main SCs whereas the corresponding number is 41 in the STs list of fourteen states. Arunachal Pradesh does not have list of SCs with the denotification of all 16 SCs as per 2002 Amendment. Thus the number of main SCs has decreased from 1221 from 2001 to 1206 whereas the number of Scheduled Tribes has increased from 664 to 701 at 2011 Census. In addition, 115 sub entries as synonyms/ subgroups/sections have been notified along with the main SCs in 15 states and 3 UTs. The corresponding number for STs is 194 in nine states. A total of ten and two SCs have been converted to STs in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Kerala respectively. In Kerala 11 SCs including seven main SCs and 4 sub groups were denotified whereas two SCs were deleted from SCs list in Odisha. In the small UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, one sub group has been excluded. As regards deletion of STs is concerned, a total of 15 STs have been denotified after the preceding the Census. The number of deleted STs is 2 each in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, 3 each in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and 5 in Kerala. It may be pointed out that both for the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes lists, certain castes and tribes have been notified along with area restriction. These Orders/Amendments Acts inter-alia have imposed area restrictions in some of the States whereas area restriction has been still maintained which was imposed earlier in few states. In Himachal Pradesh, area restriction have been removed from two populous Scheduled Tribes viz. Gaddi and Gujjar. INTRODUCTION INDIA The set of data presented in Tables A-10 and A-11 contain individual Scheduled Caste-wise Scheduled Tribe-wise PCA for each State/UT as per the notified SCs & STs lists of each State and UT. The PCA data provide a meaningful profile on demographic, socio economic and cultural aspects of each SC and ST of the country. These data present their population including institutional and houseless population, by sex and residence, population in the age group 0-6, literates, illiterate, total workers, main and marginal workers classified by the four broad industrial categories, namely, (i) cultivators, (ii) agricultural labourers, (iii) household industry workers, and (iv) other workers and non­ workers. The district level population distribution of each SC&ST by sex and residence has been provided in the Appendix to the Tables. INTRODUCTION INDIA With a view to provide demographic and socio economic profile of major SCs and STs, all the 35 States/UTs have been distributed into six geographical zones. These zones are Northern Zone, Western Zone, Eastern Zone, Central Zone, North Eastern Zone and Southern Zone. Numerically larger SCs and STs constituting 3/4th (75-76%) of the total SCs & STs population in each Zone have been selected for diagrammatic presentation of data. Zone wise variation relating to the demographic, socio-economic and cultural profile of each major SCs & STs (male/female) has been brought out in the following presentation . These variables are: population/percentage share, literacy, overall sex ratio, child sex ratio, work participation rate and economic categories of main workers. Level of demographic, socio-economic and cultural status of individual SCs & STs can be identified from the following tables and diagrams: STATES/UTs DISTRIBUTED IN SIX GEOGRAPHICAL ZONES NAME OF THE ZONE NAME OF THE STATES & UTs NAME OF THE ZONE NAME OF THE STATES & UTs Western Zone RAJASTHAN North-Eastern Zone SIKKIM GUJARAT ARUNACHAL PRADESH MAHARASHTRA NAGALAND D & N HAVELI MANIPUR DAMAN & DIU MIZORAM TRIPURA Eastern Zone BIHAR MEGHALAYA WEST BENGAL ASSAM JHARKHAND A & N ISLAND Southern Zone ANDHRA PRADESH ODISHA KARNATAKA GOA Central Zone CHHATTISGARH KERALA MADHYA PRADESH LAKSHADWEEP TAMIL NADU PUDUCHERRY Northern Zone JAMMU & KASHMIR HIMACHAL PRADESH UTTRAKHAND UTTAR PRADESH DELHI HARYANA PUNJAB CHANDIGARH Scheduled Castes Distribution of all States/UTs in six geographical zones and zone wise percentage share of SCs to total SCs population of India Name of the Zone Name of the States & Percentage of SCs Name of the Zone Name of the States Percentage of SCs UTs to Total SCs & UTs to Total SCs population in India population in India Western Zone RAJASTHAN 14.69 North-Eastern Zone SIKKIM 1.50 GUJARAT MANIPUR MAHARASHTRA MIZORAM D & N HAVELI TRIPURA DAMAN & DIU MEGHALAYA ASSAM Eastern Zone BIHAR 24.43 ANDHRA WEST BENGAL Southern Zone PRADESH 20.88 JHARKHAND KARNATAKA ODISHA GOA KERALA Central Zone CHHATTISGARH 7.26 TAMIL NADU MADHYA PRADESH PUDUCHERRY JAMMU & Northern Zone KASHMIR 31.23 HIMACHAL PRADESH UTTRAKHAND UTTAR PRADESH PUNJAB CHANDIGARH UTTRAKHAND HARYANA KILOMETRES ZONE WISE100 0 100 PERCENTAGE 200 300 400 SHARE OF SCHEDULED CASTES NORTHERN ZONE NORTH-EASTERN ZONE WESTERN ZONE EASTERN ZONE CENTRAL ZONE Western Zone 15% Northern Zone 31% Eastern Zone 24% SOUTHERN ZONE Southern Zone Central Zone C 21% A 7% E I N D S I N U S O F North-Eastern Zone 2% Zone wise percentage share of major Scheduled Castes (SCs) Name of the major SCs Percentage of major Name of the major SCs Percentage of Name of the major SCs Percentage of SCs to total SCs major SCs to total major SCs to total population of the SCs population of SCs population of Zone the Zone the Zone Western Zone Eastern Zone Southern Zone Bairwa, Berwa 4.26 Bagdi, Duley 6.22 Adi Dravida 17.2 Bhambi, Bhambhi, etc. 8.26 Bauri 2.50 Adi Karnataka 6.9 Chamar, Bhambhi,etc. 8.42 Bhuiya 3.18 Arunthathiyar 2.6 Mahar, Mehra, etc. 27.06 Chamar, Mochi, etc. 14.12 Banjara, Lambani, etc. 3.0 Mahyavansi, Dhed, etc. 5.44 Dewar, Dhibara,etc. 2.02 Bhovi, Od, etc. 2.7 Mang, Matang, etc. 8.41 Dhoba, Dhobi 1.31 Madiga 18.2 Megh, Meghval, etc. 10.34 Dhobi, Rajak 1.52 Mala, Mala Ayawaru 13.2 Thori, Nayak 2.84 Dom, Dombo, etc. 1.44 Pallan 5.5 Paraiyan, Parayan, Central Zone Dusadh, Dhari, etc. 10.05 etc. 4.3 Pulayan, Cheramar, Chamar, Chamari, etc. 52.59 Ganda 1.33 etc. 2.4 Balahi, Balai 9.11 Jalia Kaibartta 1.16 Northern Zone Mahar, Mehra, etc. 5.61 Kandra, Kandara, etc. 1.08 Ad Dharmi 1.62 Koli, Kori 4.49 Musahar 5.54 Balmiki, Chura, etc. 4.97 Chamar, Jatia Chamar, Ganda, Gandi 2.61 Namasudra 7.12 etc. 44.65 Bhangi, Mehtar,etc. 2.50 Pan, Pano, etc. 2.45 Dhobi 3.87 North-Eastern Zone Pasi 1.79 Khatik 1.48 Bhuinmali, Mali 2.29 Pod, Poundra 4.98 Kori 3.65 Mazhabi, Mazhabi Jalia Kaibarta 3.53 Rajbanshi 7.73 Sikh 4.19 Jhalo, Malo, Jhalo-Malo 2.65 Pasi, Tarmali 10.37 Kaibartta, Jaliya 22.88 Shilpkar 1.48 Lois 2.82 Mahisyadas 5.05 Muchi, Rishi 2.56 Namasudra 27.94 PERCENTAGE SHARE OF MAJOR SCHEDULED CASTES IN WESTERN ZONE RAJASTHAN GUJARAT DAMAN & DIU DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI 2.84 4.26 Bairwa, Berwa MAHRASTARA 10.34 8.26 Bhambi, Bhambhi, etc. 8.41 8.42 Chamar, Bhambhi,etc. Mahar, Mehra, etc. 5.44 C A E Mahyavansi, Dhed, etc. I N D S U I N 27.06 Mang, Matang, etc.

    SOCIO-RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY OF B. R. AMBEDKAR AND THE GENESIS OF THE NEO-BUDDHIST MOVEMENT IN INDIA THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ARTS) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL 2003 • By lndramohan Mandai Selection Grade Lecturer Department of History Samsi College Maida Supervisor Co-supervisor Dr. Sailen Debnath Dr. Jasobanta Kar Reader Professor of History Department of History University of North Bengal Alipurduar College Raja Rammohunpur Jalpaiguri Darjeeling j ,, 16M7Hl 2? UtC r'., Acknowledgement To speak the truth, I did not have any contemplation for doing research work on Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. In the year of 1989,the Government of India took initiative to commemorate Ambedkar on the occasion ofhis Birth Centenary. Then, as the secretary of a Social Organisation at Maida, I organised a Seminar on the ideas and activities of Ambedkar. Dr. Sailen Debnath was one ofthe speakers who attended the Seminar; and on that occasion he inspired me to work on the topic. I would like to express my deepest sense of gratitude to Dr. Sailen Debnath, under whose supervision this dissertation has taken the present form. From the very inception of the work and all through my hazardous thinking on the topic;he kin.dled in me a keen intrest and urge for the study in the socio-religious movements organised by Ambedkar. Moreover, his constant supervision and co-operation were the only source of inspiration for me to bring this work into its present shape. I am indebted much to Dr. Jasobanta Kar, Professor of History, North Bengal University, who extended his sympathy for being joint supervisor to overcome some technical difficulties for joining the Fellowship under the IXth plan of the University Grants Commission.

ABSTRACT Indian Society did not remain static as was assumed by some authors. Society was dynamic and so was the caste system. For a long caste system was also thought to have remained changeless. But recent work point out that even caste system did not remain as a fourfold varna system. There was proliferation of castes right from Gupta period down to the present times. Uttrakhand society was not divided into four broad caste categories. But we will find that only three social categories were prevalent. By using the historical and anthropological methods this article tries to chart the social mobility of Shilapakars in Uttarakhand and the ways and methods, such as Sacred Thread (Janeo) and Dola - Palki as markers of higher status, they chose to achieve social mobility. Keywords: Social Mobility, Proliferations, Shilpkar, Sanskritization others who argue that the category Dalit enables Recent works have discussed the popularization of scholars to highlight the large-scale discrimination the term and a new movement which challenged all and injustice faced by section of humanity in the form of social hierarchies and distinctions. The way name of caste and jati ordering. In fact, Dalit is not a Dalit identity has been constructed and articulated caste, but rather a constructed identity. conveys the exact anger and frustration on the part Nonetheless, this new identity helps the socially and of the socially excluded communities of Indian economically discriminated groups to challenge the society vis-à-vis the repressive caste system.

This local tradition does not rely on the written sources and instead carried through oral means and majorly revolves around the lives of the common people. The area of the study of this paper is the hilly region of Kumaon and Garhwal in the state of Uttarakhand. The paper discusses the local beliefs and practices of the Uttarakhand region. It explores the thin boundary between the local and pan-Indian and the relation in which one co-exists in the other. This paper takes a journey from the brief history of religion practiced in the region to the different cults venerated in the region. Analyzing these local cults and practices, the paper finally depicts the processes through which the folk is assimilated into the fold of mainstream Brahmanical culture. KEYWORDS: Religion, Folk, Brahmanical, Local Traditions, Pan-Indian Traditions, Kumaon, Garhwal INTRODUCTION The region of Central Himalayas stretches on the southern slope between the Great Divide and the Shivalik foothills. It is divided into four parallel zones of Tarai-Bhabhar, Lesser Himalayas, Greater Himalayas and the Trans-Himalayas (D.D. Sharma, 2009). The history of Uttarākhaṇḍa marks its beginning with the Kuṇindas.
  • Chapter-6 Cultural Changes

    Chapter-6 Cultural Changes

    266 Chapter-6 Cultural Changes Culture is a very much big spectrum to study. Culture is generally defined as the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs of a particular group of people at a particular time. So in study of demography the aspect of culture must come in the way of discussion and the demographic changes also leading to the cultural changes drove us to examine and indicate those changes so that any crisis or question emerged from that changes may be conciliated indicating the basics of those changes. In this context the study of cultural change from historical perspective is of a great significance. As we have seen a voluminous and characterized changes in demography happened throughout a long period of 120 years from 1871 to 1991 census year, there might be changes happened in the cultural ingredients of the people of North Bengal. Religion, Caste, language and literature are regarded the basic ingredients of culture. S.N.Ghosh, Director of Census Operations, West Bengal wrote that ‘Religion is an important and perhaps the basic cultural characteristics of the population.’1 On the other it has been opined by Sri A. Mitra that ‘The caste system provides the individual member of a caste with rules which must be by him observed in the matters of food, marriage, divorce, birth, initiation, and death.2 This exemplifies the role of Caste in cultural practices in human life. In this chapter I shall examine the changes in religious and caste composition of demography of North Bengal for the whole period of my discussion and highlight over the changes in numerical growth of persons speaking different languages and then I shall try to indicate to the changes in cultural habits and practices of emerging North Bengal people.
