The tribes of Uttarakhand can remain separate from the Uniform Civil Code. There are seven major tribes in the state, whose customs and rules are different. However, the government has yet to decide on this. Although the aim is to implement the Uniform Civil Code on every citizen of the state, the Scheduled Tribes can be kept out of it.
Right now the government has to decide on this. Tharu tribe is the largest tribal community of Uttarakhand and Kumaon in the state. Tharu tribe resides in Khatima, Nanakmatta, Sitarganj, Kichha, etc. areas of Udham Singh Nagar.
