Why tonk kshatriya comes under scheduled caste in himachal?

The Tonk Kshatriya community in Himachal Pradesh is classified under the Scheduled Caste category due to historical social and economic marginalization. Despite their Kshatriya heritage, they faced discrimination and exclusion from mainstream socio-economic structures, which led to their inclusion in the Scheduled Caste list to promote their welfare and ensure affirmative action. This classification seeks to provide them with access to educational and employment opportunities to uplift their community.
