The Last 7 Days Alone Portray the Status of Dalits in India -Faizan Mustafa |
-TheCitizen.in
Forget about 66 per cent increase in crimes against Dalits in last ten years or rapes of Dalit women doubled or a crime being committed against Dalits every 15 minutes. Let us just see what happened in the last one week: - A Dalit boy was killed on Friday for buying and riding a horse in Gujrat demonstrating our hatred and prejudices against Dalits. - A Dalit couple from Kasganj,U.P. has been denied permission by the Allahabad High Court to have their marriage procession pass through a locality of Thakurs as district officials told the court that it may lead to law and order problem. In last three decades or so no such procession was ever allowed. - Houses of current BJP legislator (Rajkumari Jatav from Hinduan and a former Congress MLA(Bharosi Lal Jatav) in Rajasthan were put on fire for their participation in the Bharat bandh against the apex court judgment of March 20, 2018. If houses of influential public figures are not safe, should we have any doubt about the need of stringent SC/ST law? Just like racism, untouchability is based on ‘descent’.

SC/ST Act passed by the Rajiv Gandhi government dealt with some harsh and painful realities of our social life. Strangely Supreme Court did not understand special nature of crimes against Dalits.
