Indian Constitution (especially Articles 244 and 244A)

The Indian Constitution provides a framework for governance, including special provisions for certain regions. Articles 244 and 244A specifically address the administration of tribal areas in the northeastern states of India. Article 244 outlines how tribal areas can be governed under the Sixth Schedule, allowing for a degree of autonomy and self-governance. Article 244A allows for the creation of an autonomous state within Assam, which includes provisions for governance and rights specific to the tribes in that region. These articles help in recognizing and preserving the unique cultures and needs of tribal communities in India.
