Abstract
The Matak tribal people who has inhabited in a region known as Saumar prior to the invasionof Sukapha in 1228 AD has been neglected and disregarded in every spheres of life even
today. Even after independence the Mataks were deprived of their due share in the society. In
the post-independence period they had to struggle and fight for their due rights and
opportunities. Under the banner of their voluntary, non-political organization they carried out
their demands, memorandums and discussions with both the Central and State government
and one of their significant demand is the Demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) Plains status.
