CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: protect the interests of Scheduled Tribes. The Fifth Schedule of Indian Constitution relates to the protection of cultural distinctiveness of Tribals in states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Orissa and Rajasthan. The Sixth Schedule relates to the provisions of administering tribal areas in the States of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. Hence, both Fifth Schedule and Sixth Schedule will protect the interest of Scheduled Tribes in respective scheduled areas in states, so option A is correct. Option C is incorrect as it excludes fifth and sixth schedule areas from Panchayati Raj system, so that, tribal customs, religious laws and political institutions will not interfere.
