Nowadays, the term ‘untouchable’ does not apply to anyone. In India, the 16% of present population are people of the SC category.

Of the three caste divisions of the reserved categories, the Scheduled Tribe is the second one. Natives who belong to the Scheduled tribes are descendents of the tribal communities. In India, of the total population, 7% belongs to the ST group. This category of people did not agree to caste system. Instead, they preferred to dwell deep inside forests as well as mountains areas of India, far away from the chief part of the society. These people are also called as the Adivasis. This term means aboriginals. The third and final class of the system of castes is called as the Backward Classes or the Other Backward Classes. This category of people comprises of natives who belong to the Sudra Varna or the Sudra (lower) caste. These people were formerly considered as untouchables. They are now at present transformed from Hinduism into other religions. They also include tribes as well as nomads who traveled from one place to another.  In our country, the Backward Classes Division in the Ministry takes care after the guiding principles and development in addition to the implementation of programmes that are related to the social as well as economic empowerment of the Other Backward Communities.
