The kind Prem Panicker sends me this clipping from a UNI feed:

Chutiya tribe to organise massive agitation for ST status

Guwahati, Aug 20 (UNI) The All Chutiya Jati Sanmilan, Assam, today declared it would undertaken intensive agitation to press for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status the tribe, along with five other tribes, a demand rejected by the Union Ministry on August 14 last.

Sadly, I could not find a link to this online. But you can read more about the Chutiyas here.

I know some of my friends will be very excited at the thought of getting ST status. Let me remind them that these are proper noun Chutiyas we are talking about, not common noun chutiyas. No special entitlements for us, sadly.
