The C-word is an unprintable slang in Hindi and it is quite a coincidence that an entire came to be named so.  It would definitely be hard to figure out when someone calls a member of this tribe by his last name if he meant to insult or to actually be friendly! Nevertheless, they should have gotten the access to being a VERY Scheduled Tribe, if anything.. by the sheer weight of their misfortune - or deeds of their ancestors! The All Chutiya Jati Sanmilan, Assam, today declared it would undertaken intensive agitation to press for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status the tribe, along with five other tribes, a demand rejected by the Union Ministry on August 14 last. They also maintained that accord of such status would also help check the massive illegal immigration to a great extent. The Chutiya tribe, along with Ahom, Muttock, Moran, Koch Rajbongshis and tea labourers, had been demanding ST (plains) status. Union Tribal Affairs Minister P R Kyndiah said on August 14 that the government had no proposal for according such status to the tribes."}
