Talk:Denotified Tribes

Clarity needed
I am not clear if the denotified tribes were renotified in 1959 under Habitual offenders act. So, was it just a change in nomenclature? --Gurubrahma 13:11, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I think they were virtually renotified, although the terms of the new law were less harsh. Even the Habitual Offenders Act was amended in the 90s, so I don't know what's the latest situation. deeptrivia 14:45, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

The lastest situation is these communites are now enumerated and classified into Schedule castes, Schedule Tribes and Other Backward Classes. That causes a huge problem, as these communites are entitled to get benefits as they should be. The study of these communities should done by keeping colonialism in mind and the impact of colonialism in creation these communites. I as am doing my dissertation on them, I will write more about them. Rahul

Yes, the HOA contained virtually the same language as the CTA, but they were enacted at the state level, not the national level. Since the rise of the DNT rights movement in the 1990s HOAs have been repealed in most states. In some places this has led to real reforms, but in others the policies are still in effect even if they are no longer written in law. kerim (talk) 08:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

DNT vs. DNT-NT
Not sure how we should deal with this, but DNTs are usually lumped together with Nomadic Tribes, and I've seen various interpretations of DNT, where the N sometimes stands for Nomadic, and sometimes for Notified. When it stands for notified you see the abbreviation DNT-NT used for "Denotified and Nomadic Tribes." In any case, these connections need to be clearly spelled out and there should be a page for the category of DNT-NT which is linked to this page.

Removal of unsourced info
The info in the lead was marked as unsourced since October 2009. WP:V requires that all statements which are not "common sense" need to be verified. That information was contentious, and thus must have a source. If anyone can find a source, feel free to re-add it. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Denotified tribes of India → Denotified Tribes – Denotified Tribes (DNT) is a technical term, while this lowercased title appears to apply to "tribes in India which happen to be denotified". I submit it should reflect the formal term, since there's no Disambiguation issue currently. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:20, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
