మన కులం అబొరిజినల్ అంటే అనాదిగా ఉన్న జాతి.  మనవారు, మనలను అనగదొక్కాలని చూసేవారు ఆదిమ జాతి అని ముద్ర వేయడానికి ప్రయత్నం చేస్తున్నారు. 

మిగతా కులాలు నొమాడోక్  సెమి-నొమాడిక్ సంచార జాతులు. 

అననంతరామన్ కమిషన్ ఎ బి సి డి లుగా వర్గీకరించి 30% రిజర్వేషన్లు ఇవ్వాలని ప్రతిపాదన. BC-ఎ లో ఉన్న వారందరూ(Aboriginal tribes Vimuktha Jathis Nomadic and Semi Nomadic tribes etc.,)  అబొరిజినల్ నొమాడోక్ సెమినొమాడిక్ డినోటిఫైడ్ వర్గం గా గురించారు.

ఇప్పుడు అబొరిజినల్ అనే వర్గం తీసేసారు.  మనలను డిఎన్టీ అంటారు. డినోటిఫైడ్ ట్రైబ్స్. denotified tribes.

ఈ వర్గీకరణ కోసం కేంద్రం ఒక కమిషన్ వేసి డ్రాఫ్ట్ రిపోర్ట్ పార్లమెంట్ లో ప్రకటించారు. కేంద్ర మంత్రి ఆ రిపోర్ట్ కి ఆమోదం తెలిపారు. ఆ ప్రకారం డిఎన్టీ వర్గీకరణ జరగాలి.  అందులో మనం ఉండాలి. కానీ మన వారి తెలివి తక్కువ వలన లేము. జాలరి,గంగ పుత్ర, రెడ్డిక‌ , కాళింగ వారు ఉన్నారు. 

ఆ వర్గాల వారి పిల్లల చదువులు కోసం ఎస్టీ కులాలకు ఇచ్చే రాయితీలు అన్నీ వస్తున్నాయి.  అలాగ కూడా మనం నష్టపోయాము. 

ఏ కులసంఘ నాయకుడు అయినా వారి కులానికి ప్రభుత్వ పరంగా ఇతర విధాల ఎంత ఎక్కువ రాయితీలు సంపాదిస్తే కులం అంతగా అభివృద్ధి చెందటానికి అవకాశం ఉంటుంది.

మన నాయకులు ప్రతిపక్షంలో ఉంటే అగ్నికులక్షత్రియ. అధికారంలోకి రాగానే మత్యకార.
