Sixth Schedule Indian constitution

-
The Sixth Schedule was incorporated to protect the rights of the minority tribals living within a larger state dominated by the majority.

 But in these largely tribal-dominated states, the indigenous enjoy overwhelming majority and a major political voice, with 90 per cent of the Assembly seats (55 out of 60 in Meghalaya) reserved for the tribals. Indeed, it is now the rights of minority non-tribals that need protection. 

The existence of the Sixth Schedule in a full-fledged state with all powers is thus not only unnecessary but also illogical.

 It undermines social harmony, stability and economic development of the state and the region. 


The Sixth Schedule which applies to the Tribal Areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, provides for autonomy in the administration of these areas through Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and the Regional Councils empowered to make laws in respect of areas under their jurisdiction, which cover land, forest, cultivation, inheritance, indigenous customs and traditions of tribals, etc. and also to collect land revenues and certain other taxes. ADCs are like miniature states having specific powers and responsibilities in respect of all the three arms of governance: Legislature, executive and judiciary

When the concept of a "good life" becomes limited to material wealth, individual success, and immediate gratification, ethical values and considerations can often be overshadowed or compromised. Here's a discussion on this issue, along with examples: 1. Materialism and Consumerism: In modern society, there is often an emphasis on material possessions and consumerism as markers of a good life. This narrow focus on material wealth and accumulation can lead to a neglect of ethical values such as compassion, empathy, and social responsibility. For example, individuals may prioritize personal financial gain at the expense of fair and equitable distribution of resources in society. 2. Individualism and Self-Interest: The pursuit of individual success and self-interest can sometimes override ethical considerations for the well-being of others and the larger c...
