222. ST status for 11 left out Indian Gorkha sub-tribes; reservation for Limboo and Tamang tribes in Sikkim assembly
Status: The government has failed to deliver on both promises. The government didn’t grant Schedule Tribe status to the said eleven Gorkha sub-tribes citing the rejection by the Office of Registrar General of India. Further, the government is still to act on the subject of reserving seats for Tamang and Limboo tribes in the legislative assembly of Sikkim. The Hon’ble Supreme Court had recently asked the government to take action on this matter, but the government argued that the delimitation commission cannot be set up until the 2026 census is finished. i ii iii iv v
