Sixth Schedule in Manipur

A Romen Kumar Singh
From previous issue
Basis for granting status of sixth schedule :
The Supreme Court in the case as reported in (1997)8 SCC 191 (Supra) has emphatically mentioned that tribals, on account of their isolation, remained illiterate, uneducated, unsophisticated, poor and destitute.
