Title: Displacement, Rehabilitation and Human Rights Regarding Scheduled castes & Scheduled Tribes in India
Abstract: Displacement in this modern era is nothing but forced migration of schedule tribes and schedule castes who are below poverty line. Forced migration (also called deracination - originally a French word meaning uprooting) refers to the coerced movement of a person or persons away from their home or home region. It often connotes violent coercion, and is used interchangeably with the terms “displacement” or forced displacement. A specific form of forced migration is population transfer, which is a coherent policy to move unwanted persons, perhaps as an attempt at “ethnic cleansing”. Someone who has experienced forced migration is a “forced migrant” or “displaced person”. Less formally such a person may be referred to as a refugee, although that term has a specific narrower legal definition. The International Organization for Migration defines forced migration as any person who migrates to “escape persecution, conflict, repression, natural and human-made disasters, ecological degradation, or other situations that endanger their lives, freedom or livelihood.” Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region. Development-induced displacement is a subset of forced migration. Such displacement is the forcing of communities and individuals out of their homes, often also their homelands, for the purposes of economic development. It has been historically associated with the construction of dams for hydroelectric power and irrigation purposes but also appears due to many other activities, such as mining. The most well-known examples of development-induced displacement is a result of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam in China, and also the previous German expulsions. In India Government even though rehabilitated but majority of members suffered a lot. Rehabilitation is nothing but Restoration of an entity to its normal or near-normal functional capabilities after the occurrence of a disabling event. The present study is based on secondary data. The paper focus its light on SC&ST regarding displacement and Rehabilitation in India. The objectives of the study are following.
