Question

What was the main aim of the government in passing the ‘Prevention of Atrocities’ Act? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1989, the Government of India enacted the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in order to prevent atrocities against SC/STs. The purpose of the Act was to prevent attrocities and help in social inclusion of Dalits into the society, but the Act has failed to live up to its expectations.
