  • Abstract:
  • The term ‘class‘signifies a form of social stratification. It is defined as stratum of people who share a similar socio-economic status or position. Schedule Castes (SCs) are those estates which were placed at the bottom. In the traditional caste system, usually, they used to perform unclean occupations. So, they were treated as polluted or impure. The concept of pollution attached to them had made untouchable. There are around 461 Scheduled Tribes in our country. Among them, 75 most backward communities have been identified as Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs). Most of the Scheduled Tribes today are followers of tribal region, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. As per census of 2011, 40 types of Scheduled Tribe reside in West Bengal and Purulia is the second highest tribal populated district in the state after Jalpaiguri.
