WHO ARE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS CALLED MULNIVASIS OF INDIA?
The issue of original inhabitants of India called Mulnivasis has been elaborately dealt with by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Kailas and others versus State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 793 decided on 5.1.2011 in Criminal Appeal No. 11 of 2011. This judgment is brought to my notice by my learned friend Adv. Rajeshwar Panchal. I am really thankful to him as this judgment is really eye opening and needs to be read by every Indian.
The said judgment is an outcome of one shocking crime of one Bhil tribal woman being brutally beaten and paraded naked in broad day light by higher caste persons for the reason of said woman having sexual relationship with higher caste man and given birth to his daughter and also pregnant from him for second time.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court went deep into history of India as reasoning for giving harsh punishment to such criminals. The Hon'ble Supreme Court by said judgment has declared that only 8% of present Indian population viz. Bhils being Scheduled Tribes/Adivasis are probably the descendants of original inhabitants of India and the rest 92% of Indian population consists of descendants of immigrants/invaders mostly from North-West. This is the reason why there is diversity of religion and culture in India, declares Hon'ble Supreme Court. Since Supreme Court judgment is law of land, there need not now be any confusion about original inhabitants/mulnivasis of India. But this clarity about most of us being descendants of immigrants/invaders and so outsiders in India giving us reason for our diversity is a great challenge before us to remain united. The only supreme law book that can guide us to remain united as strong India is Indian Constitution. -Adv.B.S.More
N.B.
SC interpretation is law. If anybody has contrary research in matter, he or she can file curative petition in SC if such filing is permitted by SC. At least I have not made research into this subject and so till new comes out as final law, I will have to respect SC judgment and in fact every Indian must respect it. -Adv.B.S.More
