Ok, as distressful as it is for the tribe itself, but the reading of the news is really hillarious! The C-word is an unprintable slang in Hindi and it is quite a coincidence that an entire came to be named so.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 or deeds of their ancestors!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

They also maintained that accord of such status would also help check the massive illegal immigration to a great extent.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The decision was widely criticised by the tribes and a 12-hour statewide bandh had also been called on August 22 in protest.<\/p>\n

Effigies of the Prime Minister and Mr Kyndiah were also burnt.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press meet here, former MLA and ex-president of the Sanmilan Khokeswar Barua said, \u201d We will take up more agitation steps now that our demand has not been accepted. Our agitation will be democratic and non-violent. We do not want to take up arms for our demands. \u201d He pointed out that the Chutiyas had been demanding ST status since 1979. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
