The 1935 Act exempted tribal areas from general laws via gubernatorial approval

Evidence

62 Ambedkar is referring to the constitutional discussions culminating in the Government of India Act of 1935 in which areas inhabited by tribals were classified as “excluded” and “partially excluded areas” for the purpose of administration. Laws were only applicable in these areas when the governor approved it, purportedly not to harm these “backward” societies with the implementation of laws instituted for the more “developed” parts of India. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 1086
