ST status for 6 Manipur tribes
Telegraph | New Delhi, Dec. 19
A few weeks before Manipur begins preparation for Assembly elections, the Centre today passed the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2011 granting Scheduled Tribes (mostly Hills) status to six communities.
The bill grants ST status to Inpui, Rongmei, Liangmai, Zeme, Thangal and Mate communities of Manipur.
The tribe may have long offloaded the suffix “ng” but Parliament made it official today.
The residents of the district already know it is improper to say Galong..
The bill to amend the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 was passed within a few minutes as Opposition members shouted slogans against a move by a Siberian court to ban the Bhagwad Gita.
