And then, Sir, may I with your kind permission refer to a still smaller matter, namely, that the expressions “Scheduled Castes”, “Scheduled Tribes” and “Scheduled Areas” whether they should be capitalised or should begin with the small letter. This may be very insignificant looking, but to people of my way of thinking, they are important. We have capitalised the word in the case of “Scheduled Castes”, but in the case of ” scheduled tribes” we have tried to make them insignificant. There is no doubt that while it represents a community or class of people, the expression should be capitalised. But when referring to the “scheduled areas” also, there is the importance, and I think the expression should be capitalised there also. They refer to definite tracts of the country or the States. We described the “Non-regulated provinces” with capital letters. In order to give them due importance and grammatical symmetry, I think the expression “Scheduled Areas” should also be capitalised by the Drafting Committee before the Third Reading.
