Explanation

Constitutional safeguards (Article 46, 15, 16, etc.) exist but haven't fully uplifted Scheduled Tribes (A true). R oversimplifies by blaming tribal 'loyalty to tradition' for ignoring welfare. The real reasons include: implementation gaps, displacement, forest rights issues, cultural inappropriateness of schemes, and systemic barriers - not mere attachment to tradition.
