In fact, the term 'tribe' has nowhere been satisfactorily defined, as is explicit from the observation of the Report of the Scheduled Areas and the
Scheduled Tribe Commission (1961), which, inter alia, says that the term is suggestive of more than one meaning, ranging from 'simple folk living in the hills and forests' to a 'group of people whose socio-economic uplift is the responsibility of the President of India'.
