‘Protests by Dalits a good sign’
THE increasing number of incidents of atrocities against the Scheduled Castes, more recently in the context of “cow protection vigilantism”, prompted reactions from various sections. Excerpts from an interview he gave Frontline : As Chairperson of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, how do you view the rising atrocities against Dalits? Atrocities had been taking place earlier also, but if you take the case of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, the State is seen to be conniving with the culprits rather than helping Dalits. The BJP claims that it is doing a lot for the S.Cs and the S.Ts, including the Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana, and it also held a special session of Parliament to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar.
