Solution

The correct option is C

tribals displaced due to developmental projects


Bezbaruah Committee has suggested serious legal reform by changing the IPC to make “racial” discrimination an offence, and introducing special police units and fast track courts to speedily dispose of cases related to Northeast persons. The committee has also suggested that NCERT should introduce certain aspects of the “Northeast ethos” into the curriculum to “integrate each aspect of the Northeast into the consciousness of the people outside.” Further, resources of the Information and Broadcasting ministry could be used to create awareness about this issue, the report states.

Based on the recommendations of the Bezbaruah Committee, there is a proposal to amend the provisions of Indian Penal Code relating to “promoting or attempting to promote acts prejudicial to human dignity” and “words, gestures or acts intended to insult a member of a particular racial group”.
