When filling out government examination forms, admission forms, or reading political news, you frequently see the categories UR, OBC, SC, and ST. Let's look at the exact Hindi meaning of the SC category.
SC Full Form: Scheduled Caste.
Hindi Meaning: अनुसूचित जाति (Anusuchit Jati).
Purpose: Listed in the constitution for protection, social upliftment, and reservations.
In ancient and medieval India, the caste system was extremely rigid. People belonging to certain 'lower' castes were treated very poorly, denied education, and forced to do menial jobs. They faced extreme social and economic backwardness.
When the Indian Constitution was written (by a committee headed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar), the government created an official 'Schedule' (a list or table). The historically disadvantaged castes were added to this list so that the government could provide them with special protection, financial aid, and Reservation (आरक्षण) in government jobs and educational institutions to help them uplift their social status. Because their names appear on this official 'Schedule', they are called the Scheduled Castes.
In Hindi, the SC category is called 'अनुसूचित जाति' (Anusuchit Jati). It stands for Scheduled Caste in English.
