Abstract

Citizenship is regulated by the Citizenship Act of a state. The ethnic minority like Santal men-women are the resident of the state and subject to the state laws. In this work it has been explored that people from minority group like Santals are struggling with sate coverage and legally debarred from various rights. There is a legal restriction on disposal of lands. It acts like two way sword. They need to follow benami transfer though that has been restricted by the state law. Women are traditionally deprived of hereditary benefits. Practices of personal laws are invisible. Religious conversion is prevalent in the community. Women participation in internal decision making process is totally absent though they used to earn for their family. The question of equal treatment is far reaching target. This research argues for the legal rights of the Santal community, disrupting the legal discriminations for disposal of lands and implementing women right to inheritance.
