There are a number of criminal tribes in India. Some of them are exclusively engaged in criminal activity, while others are doing some odd jobs but also miss no opportunity to steal and cheat.
The latter may be called Partially Criminal and the first Wholly Criminal. The wholly criminal tribes do no honourable job for making a living. They are most of the time committing crimes or else planning for future crimes.
They are always on a lookout for potential centres of crime and are mostly found on crowded railway platforms, fairs and other crowded places to pursue their ends. But partially criminal tribes are either engaged in entertaining by song or dance and animal circus. They also make musical drums, bamboo baskets or small iron wares.
There is a legislation regarding all these people, known as The Criminal Tribes Act. In India an ordinance known as Indian Penal code was first promulgatedin the year 1760, in which crimes and respective punishment was given in detail. Shortly afterwards Regulation was passed by the East India Company which pertained to criminal tribes.
By virtue of this regulation the so-called criminal tribals could be engaged against payment in the construction of roads; and in case any of them deserted duty, he could be sentenced to imprisonment for 6 month. During these days Pindari Thugs were very active and posed serious menace to travellers. In 1839, Govt of India established a department known as Thugee and Dacoity department. At the same time the activities of criminal tribes came to official notice and various laws regarding them were passed from time to time. The important acts are listed below:
1. Criminal Tribes Act 1871,
2. Criminal Tribes Act 1911,
3. Criminal Tribes Act 1924,
4. Habitual Offenders act 1958.
