ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a panoramic view of the constitutional mandates and provisions relating to SCs, STs and BCs, failure to act on the basis of the mandates with thoroughness and consistency, the need for sincere and holistic implementation of constitutional provisions pertaining to SCs, STs and also BCs, constitutional amendments proposed by the author, laws enacted for SCs and STs which are in the right direction but which are hampered by lacunae of content, casual implementation and indifference at the top, remedial measures proposed by the author, further legislations and amendments proposed by the author and the schemes, programmes and plans for SCs and STs which are good but are not able to deliver the desired results for want of an integrating holistic vision and goals.
