because for different class and different
situation the meaning of backward class
is different.
India is a big country and many
differences are seen in it. People of many
religions, castes, and languages are living
in our country. They live together but also
believe in cast system. Cast system is not
the contribution of present time. It is given
by ancient time. In ancient time Indian
society was classified in to four systems.

3. Meaning of scheduled class: As we
know there are many castes in India. In
ancient time some castes were considered as
untouchable castes. People think if they will
touch these people, they will become sinful. To
remove this untouchability Indian government
make a list of these castes and provide them
many facilities. These castes are known as
scheduled castes.

4. Meaning of backward class :
it is also
very difficult to describe the meaning of
backward class. This class is that class of
people which is far behind from others. In
this list scheduled caste, scheduled tribe,
minorities etc are included.
