Manusmriti, the fundamental Hindu code system has no description of caste system. Caste system is not a synonym of "Varnashram". Indian society was grouped into four "Varnas" based on the principle of quality and nature of works performed. With the rolling wheel of time India was made slave and during long period of slavery many distortions took place in our society and "Shudras" of Manusmriti became untouchables and "low-borne". From here a new system of caste came into prominence. During British period of administration, the term "Scheduled caste” was coined by Simon Commission for depressed classes of India. After independence the term scheduled caste or scheduled Tribe has got constitutional validity even then socio-economic conditions of majority people of this section have been deplorable. Still about 89 to 93% population of this section are either agricultural labourers or marginal agricultural labourers.
