Answer:
The Act distinguishes several levels of crimes.
• Firstly, it lists modes of humiliation that are both physically horrific and morally reprehensible and seeks to punish those who force a member of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe to drink or eat any inedible or obnoxious substance; forcibly removes clothes from the person of a member of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe or parades him or her naked or with painted face or body or commits any similar act which is derogatory to human dignity.
• Secondly, it lists actions that dispossess Dalits and Adivasis of their meagre resources or which force them into performing slave labour. Thus, the Act sets out to punish anyone who wrongfully occupies or cultivates any land owned by, or allotted to, a member of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe or gets the land allotted to him transferred.
• At another level, the Act recognizes that crimes against Dalit and tribal women are of a specific kind and, therefore, seeks to penalize anyone who assaults or uses force on any woman belonging to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe with intent to dishonour her.
