Badaga Community’s Inclusion in Scheduled Tribes List Rejected

The Government of Tamil Nadu's proposal to include the Badaga community in the Scheduled Tribes list was rejected by the Registrar General of India (RGI). The proposal did not receive support despite being forwarded along with an ethnographic report. Following rejection, a writ petition supported by the community was also dismissed by the High Court of Judicature at Madras, which upheld the RGI's decision as final.
