Answer 2

Explanation:

This is because after the reservation policy that gave the depressed classes dalits and other tribal people reserved seats in the provincial and council elections they were politically called scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The law, too recognises them under these category in order to make uniform laws and policies for all the depressed castes and groups as a whole rather than making laws for different depressed castes and tribes one by one.
