Over 28,000 incidents of crime against SC/ST in 2005
Over 28,000 incidents of crimes, including murder and rape, were committed against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes across the country last year, the Lok Sabha was informed today.
While 24,792 cases were reported against Scheduled Castes, as many as 3,691 crimes were committed against Scheduled Tribes, Minister of State for Home I D Swami said in a written reply.
The maximum numbers of 4,892 cases against Scheduled Castes were reported from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh topped the list in atrocities against Scheduled Tribes with 1643 cases.
Police: Over 68,000 complaints were received against police personnel in the year 2000 alone, but only 26 of them were convicted, Swami said.
In 1999, 135771 cases were reported, 137492 cases in 2000 and 125152 last year, as per the data compiled by National Crimes Record Bureau.
See the above given facts and there will be no need of saying anything else about the condition of the Dalits (UNTOUCHABLES) here in India. Although some of these facts are of 1992-1993, 2005 I don’t think the condition of the Untouchables have improved a lot. The crimes have increased year by year (In 1999, 135771 cases were reported, 137492 cases in 2000 and 125152 last year, Over 28,000 incidents of crime against SC/ST in 2005 as per the data compiled by National Crimes Record Bureau.).The condition has become the worst in the present context as India is developing India Shining!!! Where it is developing where it’s shining? India is Developing towards a Civil War, Developing in creating Hate between the People & Developing in Dividing people based on Caste System etc. Where it is shining why at least me not able to see India Shining? India might be shining for the families like TATA, BIRLA or AMBANI’s. India is not shining for the common people (Dalits) those constitutes 85% population of the India. See the facts and you can yourself come to know where India is shining or developing.
People below Poverty Line:
SC: 31.64 %
ST: 44.2 %
OBCs: 21.8 %
Upper Castes: 12.78 %
The Government enacted the Prevention of Atrocities Act in 1989 and over the years it has proved to be a lame duck. Nothing has improved, changed for the Dalits (can’t say about the upper caste people, those who think they are but not in reality. Their condition might have improved by torturing Dalits!!!! Shame on these people)
While out of the total cases, only one in five were disposed, out of the disposed cases, a mere 2.31 per cent ended up in conviction. The number of acquittals is six times more than the number of convictions. (These are the facts of 2005) Many cases remain unnoticed by this Casteist media and not just the media the police and the judicial system have failed to report all the crimes happening against the Dalits. Media can provide information about what’s going in the one’s bedroom but can point out the atrocities happening to the Dalits. Why so? Doesn’t this show the discrimination? Why media feel so much feared about giving such news or they just don’t want to show people the real face of India and Hinduism as they are also Hindus? I won’t say anything about this almost everyone will understand this very well itself. (Top 500 posts in Media there are no one from Dalits at Delhi).
Now see 1st three days (Millions of Rupees) of the parliament (winter session, 2006) are wasted by these politicians discussing on Greg Chappell. What the hell common people is going to get from all this? Is this going to give anything to the economy of India? Or by discussing on Greg Chappell India is going to become developed nation? I think only politicians can answer this better those don’t even know the meaning of Economy!!! Has anyone raised the case of Khairlangi? I don’t think so. They can discuss all about Schin’s marriage, Greg Chappell, Britney Spears & Mandir’s etc. there in the Parliament but what happens when the turn of raising voice for eliminating Casteism or discrimination comes? Almost every leader becomes silent then why so? At least Dalit leaders should have raised this Khairlangi Case but they are becoming puppets in the hands of these Manuwadi people days by day. Shame on all our own leaders those haven’t raised such points of Casteism and discrimination from where all world listen them.
Shame on all the ministers also those are filling their own pockets by giving all atrocities happening over Dalits a political look for the development of own party.
Is there any scope for human development if we go on committing such indecent? Can’t say and can’t expect anything from Indian at least.The Untouchables are made “Religious, Economic and Political Slaves” by means of “Hindu Caste System” and its religious fake rituals. The people who believed in “Basic Human Rights” from all over the world should have to come forward to destroy “Hindu Caste System” and give justice to millions of people suffering since last thousands of years. Shame on India and me that I am still trying to wake up the people here in India those are DEAD and following stupid and fake rituals!!! Shame on me that I couldn’t save my mother, sister and brothers those died in Khairlangi and also those are being tortured daily by these so called Upper Caste people (Those who think they are but not in Reality).
