Since the independence of India, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been given Reservation status, guaranteeing political representation, and the Constitution lays down the general principles of positive discrimination for SCs and STs.^{[1]: 35, 137 [2]} The 2011 census of India stated that the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes constituted a significant portion of the population of the state, at 15.6% and 21.1% respectively.^[3] The Scheduled Tribes have been granted a reservation of 47 seats in the assembly, while 35 constituencies are reserved for candidates of the Scheduled Castes.^[4][5]

History

After the independence of India in 1947, the then province of the Central Provinces and Berar, along with a number of princely states, merged with the Indian Union and became a new state, Madhya Pradesh.^[6] The number of constituencies of the legislative assembly of this state was 184, of which 127 were single-member and 48 were double-member. Nine constituencies were reserved for the candidates of the Scheduled Tribes.^[7]

Madhya Pradesh was reorganised on 1 November 1956, following the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, merging the old Madhya Pradesh state, Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal states. The legislative assemblies of all those states were also merged to form the reorganised Madhya Pradesh assembly.^[8]
