{'tribal population': [0, 1, 2, 1], 'scheduled tribe': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'todas': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'nagaland': [25, 4, 15, 26], 'nilgiri area': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'east india': [2, 0, 2, 12], 'lotha': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'language': [11, 3, 1, 9], 'people': [11, 3, 3, 7]}

the correct answer is:

North-East India accounts for a little over half of the country’s tribal population.

This statement is not correct. North-East India does not account for over half of the country`s tribal population. While the North-Eastern states of India have a significant tribal population, the majority of the tribal population in India is concentrated in the central and eastern regions, including states like Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Maharashtra.

The other statements are correct:

There is no specific definition of the Scheduled Tribe in the Constitution of India. The Constitution does provide for the identification and inclusion of certain tribes as Scheduled Tribes, but it does not provide a comprehensive definition.

The Toda people do live in the Nilgiri area, which is located in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India.

Lotha is a language spoken in Nagaland, which is a state in the North-Eastern region of India.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

North-East India accounts for a little over half of the country`s tribal population.
