Haryana Bans 'Harijan' and 'Girijan' Terms in Official Work
The Haryana government has instructed all its departments to immediately stop using the terms "Harijan" and "Girijan" in official communications when referring to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The directive clarifies that these words are not mentioned in the Constitution, and only the terms "Scheduled Caste" and "Scheduled Tribe" should be used. This strict compliance order follows observations that some departments continued to use the proscribed terms despite previous instructions.
