Discussion
Since the enactment of Government of India Act 1935, this term has been generally referred to as ...........
Answer: B
The term is Scheduled Caste.
The Government of India Act, 1935, introduced the expression 'Scheduled Castes' for the castes and groups that had earlier been called the depressed classes, and the Government of India (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1936, listed them in a schedule. That is the origin of the name, which the Constitution later carried forward.
'Other Backward Classes' came into official use after independence, through the backward classes commissions. The term 'Scheduled Tribes' was introduced by the Constitution, so 'Scheduled Caste and Tribe' does not date from 1935, and women's empowerment is not a term of the 1935 Act at all.
