Social Stigma Is Fuelling Violence

Social Stigma Is Fuelling Violence

Implement The Laws Stringently To Tackle The anti- Dalit Atrocities

in two separate incidents in Gujrat last week, two Dalit men were beaten up by Rajputs for supporting moustaches. Earlier in September, a Dalit man in Punjab was tied to a tree and thrashed by his landlord allegedly for stealing a fan from a fodder shed. In early September in Karnataka, an upper caste person poured endsoulfan into a well to prevent Dalits from using water. On Independence Day a Dalit man and  his mother the beaten up in  Gujarat by and upper caste mob for sinking a dead cow.

These are just some of the many incidents of violence against dalits that have been recorded in recent past. In our country that hopes to be a superpower , it is shameful that caste violence is still something that is commonplace. As the election season approaches, the number of politicians who will make a beeline to Dalit homes to eat,show camaraderie , create photo opportunities, and seek votes is likely to go up; but such tokenism has never been able to achieve anything in terms of real changes in the horrifying situation on the ground. The problem is not limited to certain parts if the country or specific economic strata caste violence and discrimination is a ubiquitous problem in society. In spite of the existence of the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, it's implementation leaves much to be desired. The number of people covicted under the Act remains too small to make a large difference to matters. In March2017, in answer to an RTI query in Tamil Nadu, it was revealed that over 94% of cases registered under the Act resulted in acquittals.

The problem of caste discrimination is not one of law and order. It is deep rooted social problem. Discrimination against Dalits is on in serious problem across economic strata. The solution to the problem must come as much from social changes and affirmative actions, as from legal resources. The ST and ST (prevention of atrocities) Act must be used far more stringently and at the same time affirmative action programmes that aims to empower members of the Dalit communities must be implemented. Until the stigma attached with cast is not removed, the problem of violence will not be solved.
