Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Scheduled Tribes, also known as the Adivasis, received seat and employment reservations with the forenamed untouchables. The tribal people were denied access to modern healthcare and education, and influential foreigners had stolen their lands and forests. The new privileges the Constitution gave them were intended to make up for this. After much discussion, the Constituent Assembly also suggested that a fixed proportion of legislative seats and positions in the government should be set aside for the lower caste people.
Hence, along with the former untouchables, the Adivasis or the scheduled tribes were also granted reservations in seats and jobs.
