According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), crime against Dalits – ranging from rape, murder, beatings, and violence related to land matters – increased by 29 percent from 2012 to 2014. In 2014 itself, over 47,064 cases of crimes against Dalits were registered. Dalits are still considered ‘untouchables’ who should not receive the kind of civility extended to every other branch of society.
The suicide of Rohith Vemula, a Dalit PhD student at the Hyderabad Central University, and the outrage that followed, led to the revelation of dozens of similar cases of Dalit suicides resulting from the ‘fatal accidents’ of their birth. The hard-hitting reality of the inhumane treatment meted out to members of the Dalit community finally reached the masses. Some of these Dalits were being stripped and beaten by vigilante groups, some even being urinated upon. An NHRC report shows that Dalits are prevented from entering the police station in 28 percent of Indian villages, and their children have been made to sit separately while eating in 39 percent of government schools. They do not get mail delivered to their homes in 24 percent of villages and are denied access to water sources in 48 percent of our villages. Their women raped, their children tortured, and their livelihoods stripped away every odd day, the Dalit community is the embodiment of gross human rights violations.
