   2. 1989, Explanation: Rathnam sought the support of law, filing his complaint under The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 to protest against the domination and violence of the powerful castes in his village. The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 was framed in 1989 in response to demands made by Dalits and others that the government must take seriously the ill treatment and humiliation Dalits and tribal groups face in an everyday sense.

5. True
6. This Act was passed in 2006. The introduction to the final Act states that this Act is meant to undo the historical injustices meted out to forest-dwelling populations in not recognising their rights to land and resources. This Act recognizes their right to homestead, cultivable and grazing land and to non-timber forest produce. The Act also mentions that the rights of forest dwellers include conservation of forest and biodiversity.

   3. This Act merely confirms that the land belonging to the tribal people cannot be sold to or bought by non-tribal people.
   4. C K Janu, an Adivasi activist, has pointed out that one of the violators of Constitutional Rights guaranteed to tribal people are governments in the various states of India- for it is they who allow non-tribal encroachers in the form of timber merchants, paper mills, etc. to exploit tribal land and to forcibly evict tribal people from their traditional forests in the process of declaring forests as reserved or as sanctuaries.
