Who are the Baiga people? And why were scheduled tribes like them granted protection in the Indian Constitution? This episode of The Longest Constitution travels around three distinct kinds of work: the work of an MP, the rights of tribals and their livelihood and the constitutional provision for equal pay for equal work. We look at the PVR Narsimha the dismaying judgment which acquitted members of parliament from accepting a bribe in parliament and look at the gradual displacement of scheduled tribes from their forests.
