Dear all ,
The issue related to Dhangar and Dhangad communities in the state of Maharashtra , the caste “Dhangad” is included as Schedule Tribe at entry 36 in Maharashtra . Further it was pointed out by Member of Parliament Shri.Pradeep Rawat that there was a spelling mistake and correct scheduled tribe is “Dhangar” . The ministry refused to correct the same . It was also observed by the Ministry that in the state of Maharashtra there are two distinct communities having similar nomenclature , one is “Dhangad” which is a sub – group of Oraon , a scheduled Tribe appearing at S.No. 36 of the List of schedule Tribe . The traditional occupation of this community is cultivation . There is another community known as “Dhangar “ whose traditional occupation is cattle rearing and weaving of woolens . *The Dhangad and Dhangar are two distinct communities having no ethnic affinity at all .* The “Dhangad “ who are shepherds have been notified as Nomadic Tribe in the State of Maharashtra . Therfore , there is no printing mistake in the Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes (Amendment) Act 1976 through which the Constitution (Scheduled Tribe) Order , 1950 was amended . -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Warli Painting is Cultural Intellectual, Registered Geographical Indication.
