In Uttar Pradesh if you change your district your Adivasi status also changes

Mohan Yadav is talking to Adivasi activist Kamleshwar Prasad from Uttar Pradesh who tells him the number of Adivasis is very small in the state but they are facing a unique problem. Govt says Adivasis live only in 13 districts. So if a person lives in those 13 districts then only s/he is called an adivasi. If an Adivasi family migrates to any other district in the state they are called Scheduled caste. He demands there should be same system in whole state. Prasad Ji is at 09412774739
