The article doesn't seem very neutral and seems heavier on philosophy than on concrete facts about these "criminal" tribes. Are there other opinions out there? Were the British as high handed and crazy as the article makes it sound here, or maybe there are dissident/revisionist views on the actual relevance of these measures? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.104.52 ( talk) 02:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
POV issues, poor grammar, and some questionable assertions. Wilson44691 ( talk) 16:18, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
This article would be richer with an addition of a section to provide the backdrop of discriminatory legislation already in place in England itself , prior to the act being implemented in India .
It became an offence to simply be Gypsy in England under Henry VIII , and being caught could lead to flogging , whipping and banishment .Being caught a second time could be punishable by death .

An interesting book on the subject is English Gypsies And State Policies By David Mayall. The book has a A summary of key legislation relating to gypsies , vagrants , rogues and vagabonds ,England and Wales , 1530-1914 Intothefire ( talk) 09:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Criminal Tribes Act's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

We say Ramnarayan Rawat, a professor of History and specialising in social exclusion in Indian subcontinent, states that the criminal-by-birth castes under this Act included initially Gujjars but its enforcement expanded by late 19th century to include most Shudras and untouchables such as Chamars, as well as Sanyassis and hill tribes
. Try as I might, I cannot see where the cited pages of
Rawat's book say the stuff about which groups fell under the Act initially and the bit about Sanyassis and hill tribes definitely is not said by him (a re-phrase would probably fix that because there is a source given for it but the sentence attributes it incorrectly). Can someone please provide a quote here or at least tell me what paragraph of what page I should be looking at. I have a hard copy of the book, btw. -

It appears to have been added in this edit by Paulmuniz. Some bits have since gone missing (Ahirs etc), probably because of people trying to sanitise on behalf of their castes. The pages in Rawat certainly refer to these communities but not, as far as I can see, in the way that has been paraphrased. - Sitush ( talk) 18:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

There are several tribal names (e. g. Lodhi) formatted with the double-brackets of wikilinks, but then surrounded with nowiki tags. Is there a reason for this, or is it just a mistake? IAmNitpicking ( talk) 18:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
