&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;According to NCRB data, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities against SCs and 14.8 per cent of all crimes against STs were rape or sexual assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;There has been a long-held &amp;ndash; although disputed &amp;ndash; feminist argument that rape is about power, not sexual gratification. India&amp;rsquo;s latest crime statistics seem to back this belief, experts said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014, sexual violence against the Scheduled Castes (SC) has been the most dominant form of atrocities perpetrated against the marginalised group, and has been increasing marginally each year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau statistics, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities committed against SCs included rape or sexual assault. In 2015 and 2014, these crimes constituted 12.73 per cent and 10.9 per cent of all crimes respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, similar patterns were recorded against Scheduled Tribes (ST). Rape accounted for 14.8 per cent of all crimes reported against STs, followed only by 12.7 per cent cases of assault on women, with intent to outrage their modesty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 973 cases of rape were reported in 2016 against ST women, whereas 2,541 cases of rape were reported against SC women.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Not a surprise&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say the data is not surprising in the least. While there&amp;rsquo;s much to be said about gender violence in general, in a society saturated with caste hierarchies, sexual violence becomes yet another way to assert the violability of lower castes, they argue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Caste is an instrument of patriarchy, and a system of dominance and oppression. To keep control over lower castes, one of the easiest ways is to violate the bahu-betis of the Dalit community,&amp;rdquo; says Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of access to law enforcement for Dalits makes matters worse, argues Kumari. While it is not unusual for caste women to be dismissed by the police, the occurrence of the phenomenon is much higher with Dalit and Adivasi women, she says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The social subordination of Dalit men makes them incapable of providing any security to &amp;ldquo;their&amp;rdquo; women, she says, as opposed to men from dominant castes, who are seen as &amp;lsquo;virile&amp;rsquo; enough to guard the women of their communities.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau statistics, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities committed against SCs included rape or sexual assault. In 2015 and 2014, these crimes constituted 12.73 per cent and 10.9 per cent of all crimes respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, similar patterns were recorded against Scheduled Tribes (ST). Rape accounted for 14.8 per cent of all crimes reported against STs, followed only by 12.7 per cent cases of assault on women, with intent to outrage their modesty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 973 cases of rape were reported in 2016 against ST women, whereas 2,541 cases of rape were reported against SC women.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Not a surprise&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say the data is not surprising in the least. While there&amp;rsquo;s much to be said about gender violence in general, in a society saturated with caste hierarchies, sexual violence becomes yet another way to assert the violability of lower castes, they argue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Caste is an instrument of patriarchy, and a system of dominance and oppression. To keep control over lower castes, one of the easiest ways is to violate the bahu-betis of the Dalit community,&amp;rdquo; says Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of access to law enforcement for Dalits makes matters worse, argues Kumari. While it is not unusual for caste women to be dismissed by the police, the occurrence of the phenomenon is much higher with Dalit and Adivasi women, she says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The social subordination of Dalit men makes them incapable of providing any security to &amp;ldquo;their&amp;rdquo; women, she says, as opposed to men from dominant castes, who are seen as &amp;lsquo;virile&amp;rsquo; enough to guard the women of their communities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;According to NCRB data, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities against SCs and 14.8 per cent of all crimes against STs were rape or sexual assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;There has been a long-held &amp;ndash; although disputed &amp;ndash; feminist argument that rape is about power, not sexual gratification. India&amp;rsquo;s latest crime statistics seem to back this belief, experts said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014, sexual violence against the Scheduled Castes (SC) has been the most dominant form of atrocities perpetrated against the marginalised group, and has been increasing marginally each year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau statistics, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities committed against SCs included rape or sexual assault. In 2015 and 2014, these crimes constituted 12.73 per cent and 10.9 per cent of all crimes respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, similar patterns were recorded against Scheduled Tribes (ST). Rape accounted for 14.8 per cent of all crimes reported against STs, followed only by 12.7 per cent cases of assault on women, with intent to outrage their modesty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 973 cases of rape were reported in 2016 against ST women, whereas 2,541 cases of rape were reported against SC women.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Not a surprise&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say the data is not surprising in the least. While there&amp;rsquo;s much to be said about gender violence in general, in a society saturated with caste hierarchies, sexual violence becomes yet another way to assert the violability of lower castes, they argue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Caste is an instrument of patriarchy, and a system of dominance and oppression. To keep control over lower castes, one of the easiest ways is to violate the bahu-betis of the Dalit community,&amp;rdquo; says Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of access to law enforcement for Dalits makes matters worse, argues Kumari. While it is not unusual for caste women to be dismissed by the police, the occurrence of the phenomenon is much higher with Dalit and Adivasi women, she says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The social subordination of Dalit men makes them incapable of providing any security to &amp;ldquo;their&amp;rdquo; women, she says, as opposed to men from dominant castes, who are seen as &amp;lsquo;virile&amp;rsquo; enough to guard the women of their communities.&lt;br /&gt;

Sex crimes against SCs/STs rising since 2014, experts say it's power play -Sanya Dhingra

-ThePrint.in According to NCRB data, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities against SCs and 14.8 per cent of all crimes against STs were rape or sexual assault. New Delhi: There has been a long-held – although disputed – feminist argument that rape is about power, not sexual gratification. India’s latest crime statistics seem to back this belief, experts said. Since 2014, sexual violence against the Scheduled Castes (SC) has been the most dominant form of atrocities perpetrated against the marginalised group, and has been increasing marginally each year. According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau statistics, 13.9 per cent of all atrocities committed against SCs included rape or sexual assault. In 2015 and 2014, these crimes constituted 12.73 per cent and 10.9 per cent of all crimes respectively. In 2016, similar patterns were recorded against Scheduled Tribes (ST). Rape accounted for 14.8 per cent of all crimes reported against STs, followed only by 12.7 per cent cases of assault on women, with intent to outrage their modesty. About 973 cases of rape were reported in 2016 against ST women, whereas 2,541 cases of rape were reported against SC women. Not a surprise Experts say the data is not surprising in the least. While there’s much to be said about gender violence in general, in a society saturated with caste hierarchies, sexual violence becomes yet another way to assert the violability of lower castes, they argue. “Caste is an instrument of patriarchy, and a system of dominance and oppression. To keep control over lower castes, one of the easiest ways is to violate the bahu-betis of the Dalit community,” says Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research. The lack of access to law enforcement for Dalits makes matters worse, argues Kumari. While it is not unusual for caste women to be dismissed by the police, the occurrence of the phenomenon is much higher with Dalit and Adivasi women, she says. The social subordination of Dalit men makes them incapable of providing any security to “their” women, she says, as opposed to men from dominant castes, who are seen as ‘virile’ enough to guard the women of their communities.
