Geographically, they live in remote areas, having there distinct ethnic identity and most of them follow pre-agro economic practices for their livelihood. These tough and non-tribal areas in Himachal Pradesh are Trans-Giri (Hattee), Dodra-Kwaru and ‘15/20 Area’ of Shimla and Kullu districts respectively. In this research paper, the researchers had made an attempt to pinpoint the various issues on which people of Hattee community are demanding for the Tribal Status in Trans-Giri region.
