Haryana Bans 'Harijan' and 'Girijan' in Official Communications
The Haryana government has directed all departments to immediately stop using the terms "Harijan" and "Girijan" in official communications regarding Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The directive emphasizes that these words are not mentioned in the Constitution, which exclusively uses "Scheduled Caste" and "Scheduled Tribe." Despite prior instructions, some departments continued using the proscribed terms, leading the state government to issue a strict order for compliance with central government guidelines to cease their use in all official matters.
