Answer 2

Answer:

Scheduled Castes (SCs), also known as Dalits and Scheduled Tribes (STs), also known as Adivasis or tribal groups.

Explanation:

Dalits, also known as Scheduled Castes (SCs), are historically and socially marginalized in India and are subjected to injustice because of their low caste position.

In India, Scheduled Tribes (STs), usually referred to as Adivasis or tribal communities, are socially outlawed and subject to prejudice due of their race.

The Scheduled tribes differ from the other tribes in terms of political and socioeconomic development.

The Scheduled Castes are defined by Article 341 of the Indian Constitution with respect to each State or Union Territory.

The country's constitution, Article 342, makes reference to Schedule Tribes.

There are 1,108 castes listed in the first schedule of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, spread out over 28 states.

There are 744 tribes listed on the First Schedule of the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950.
