India has the second largest tribal concentration in the world spread across various parts of the country mainly in forests and hilly regions. The characteristics of these communities are their particular geographical location, distinct culture, economic backwardness and aloofness from the society at large.
Article 366(25) refers to Scheduled Tribes as such tribes or tribal communities or groups as are deemed under Article 342 of the Constitution. According to Article 342 of the constitution, the Scheduled tribes are the tribes or tribal communities which have been declared as such by the President through a public notification. It is given in Article 14 of the Indian Constitution: “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” In India, since these people are considered low and are not treated well the Constitution of India provides several rights to these people for safeguarding their interests. There are a number of social problems which are associated with these people like untouchability, illiteracy etc. Article 17 of the Constitution of India states:”Untouchability is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden.”
Various other provisions are also made by the Constitution of India to improve the life of the Scheduled Tribes. This paper explores the concept of rights available to the scheduled tribes in India and also carries out the analysis of these rights along with the contribution of Supreme Court and the social activists who helped in improving the condition of Scheduled Tribes and safeguarding their rights.
