According to one of the leading newspapers of India it isestimated that Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribesconstitute 25% of the total population of India. Most of these

classes remain at the lowest stratum of the society, due to variousfactors like low level of literacy, education, health, primitiveoccupations and extreme levels of poverty, lack of control overresources and political participations. Since the education level islow among them, they cannot fight a legal battle to claim theirrights. As a result, they are falling into the trap of unlawful outfits.

India is a country with highly rigid caste-based hierarchalstructure with ascending orders of privileges descending order ofdisabilities, which has been in tradition for the last 3000 years. Thereis an overwhelming majority in the Country which is still backward-socially economically, educationally and politically. In the Indianscenario when we peep into the past of the role and status of theScheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, no major changes so far canbe discernible. Although a lot of development programmes andpolicies have been formulated for the overall upliftment of theseweaker sections of the society, no major breakthroughs have beenachieved so far.

After independence, t he Constitution of India piloted by Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar prescribed certain protection and safeguardsfor the SCs and STs with the objective of promoting their educational,economic and political interests. The elite class among the ScheduledCaste and Scheduled Tribes is taking benefits of all the governmentalschemes running for their communities’ upliftment but on the otherside of the coin, there is a large majority of Scheduled Caste andScheduled Tribes who are still living a wretched life.

Globalization has helped the economy to revitalize itself but didlittle good to the Sc&STs in terms of enabling them to participate inthe economy. They have been hardly getting an opportunity tocontribute to the sectors that have expanded phenomenally due toeconomic reforms owing to their low skills, lack of adequate trainingand lack of confidence accumulated over centuries due to geographicand social exclusion. The establishment of power plants, constructionof mega irrigation projects, acquisition of lands –all ostensibly in thename of boosting the economy- have adversely impacted theirownership of their resource base. The six decades of developmentled to a progressive erosion of their traditional rights over their landresources including the forests. This can aptly be measured in termsof the lacunae in the laws, lacuna in the policy making and faultyimplementation. It is the high time for the people from the variousfraternities become aware about the issues related to the Indiantribal population. They should own up the responsibility of socialengineers and carve a niche for them, so that their issues can beresolved and more organized steps can be taken for their socialjustice. IMS Law College, Noida,takes this opportunity and proposesto organize a National Seminar on: “Development of SC &STs inGlobalised World: Legal Issues and Challenges” 21 May of 2016. Theseminar would give space for the academicians, researchers, judges,Advocates, think tanks, social activists and NGO’s to engage, shareand interact on various issues relating to Scheduled Castes andScheduled Tribes in India.
