Cast iron
Cast iron, 'Cast iron' is defined in the Concise Oxford Dictionary as 'a hard alloy of iron, carbon and silicon cast in a mould'. According to New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary of English Language, the word 'cast iron' means 'an iron-carbon alloy produced in a blast furnace. It contains up to 4% carbon, and is more brittle, but more easily fused, than steel'. According to Van Nostrand's scientific Encyclopedia, 'cast iron' is 'primarily the product of remelting and casting pig iron'.

Scheduled caste
Scheduled caste, article 341 makes it clear that a 'Scheduled Caste' need not be a 'caste' in the conventional sense and, therefore, may not be a caste within the meaning of Article 15(2) or 16(2). Scheduled Castes become such only if the President specifies any castes, races or tribes or parts or groups within castes, races or tribes for the purpose of the Constitution. So, a group or a s. of a group, which need not be a caste and may even be a hotchpotch of many castes or tribes or even races, may still be a Scheduled Caste under Article 341. Likewise, races or tribal communities or parts thereof or part or parts of groups within them may still be Scheduled Tribes (Article 342) for the purpose of the Constitution. Under this definition, one group in a caste may be a Scheduled Caste and another from the same caste may not be. It is the socio-economic backwardness of a social bracket, not mere birth in a caste, that is decisive. Conceptual errors creep in when traditional obsessions ob...
