CAP 18.28

Census Figure of 1941 not genuine. In fact adibasi figure must be very high.  

Table No. II based on the Census figure of 1941 shown the tribal population to be 47.6 per cent and that of the Scheduled Caste (Which have much in common socially, culturally, liguistically, economically and educationally) to be 10.2p.c. Thus consisting 57.8p.c. of the total population. But this calculation is not genuine as the non-tribals in the above States are to be found only in the capital towns and in a few villages in the sadar sub-division. The rest of the States are inhabited only by the backward tribal races. This being the fact percentage of adibasis population in the States must be very high.
