[edit] meaning of word 'scheduled'

I have been trying to figure out the legal definition of the word 'scheduled' in the Indian context, but don't really have a good answer. I think the definition should be included here, once somebody figures out what it is precisely. 82.45.130.213 (talk) 12:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)R.E.D.

I added jatav because of a shortage of links.


TruthSeeker811, I disagree with your blanket statement that the section you removed it unsubstantiated. It is fact that the chaturvarna system was the social superstructure of Hindu society - why did you remove that. Untouchability is fact of life even today. How can you claim Dalits/SCs/STs were not actively excluded or barred from society? Valrama 12:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I removed the section because the scheduled castes were not excluded from mainstream society. They were people that lived outside of society and became economically deprived as India progressed. Dalits and scheduled castes are NOT the same although they fall under the same category. We must present things as they are. I don't believe this should be put up since there is no historical claim they were "barred" from society. Also, The original statement has no source.Truthseeker81 (talkcontribs) 23:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to be corrected

The reference to the Census of India website needs correction as the site has changed its address to www.censusindia.gov.in and has also been redesigned.
