Who are Nomadic and Denotified Tribe?
Indigenous nomadic tribes are wide spread across the world. These tribes are also part of human evaluation and play a critical role in human civilisation. However nomadic way of life depend upon economic production, forest, community resources etc.. with the rise in modern society and state nomadic tribe across the world faced challenge for their survival. 

In 1871, British introduced the Criminal Tribes Act for the notification of Criminal Tribes, under which around 191 Tribes (mostly consists of Nomadic Tribe) were 'notified' as 'criminals' by virtue of their birth in a particular tribe. These so-called criminal tribes were actually communities of singers, acrobats, musicians, and cattle grazers, amongst others, whose nomadic lifestyle was a constant source of suspicion for the British. Under the Act, they were confined to newly created ghettos, put to work as cheap labour for industries and subjected to a pass system to control their movements. Later in 1952 after the recommendations of the Criminal Tribes Enquiry Committee Report, the Act was repelled. Thus these criminal tribes were de-notified in 1952 and termed as De-notified Tribes (DNT).
