SC/ST discrimination is not gently entombed in the past. In many parts
of India, people still follow caste taboos, and often violently. Just
last week, a mob of upper caste men in Gujarat hacked a young Scheuled
Caste to death for riding a horse — lower caste people aren’t supposed
to. One website that writes about SC/ST issues lists 116 forms of caste
segregation still practiced.
In many places, SC/ST school
children are forced to sit separately during lunchtime. And when it
rains, SC/STs are not supposed to use an umbrella in upper caste
neighborhoods. “Being a SC/ST in India is like being on the
battlefield,’’ said Dr.B.Karthik Navayan, a Dalit human rights activist.
“Everyday and every minute you will be reminded of your lower caste
position by language and actions and attacks.” Dr.Navayan said a
contentious ruling handed down by the Supreme Court last month was like
“rubbing salt in a wound.’’ …

NEW DELHI — Hundreds of thousands of
India’s SC/STs — once known as Untouchables — skipped work and poured
into the streets this week, waving the dark blue flags of SC/ST
resistance.
The protesters were connected through WhatsApp groups
and fired up about a recent court ruling that many SC/STs felt eroded
some of their hard-fought gains. It soon turned ugly.
Young men
barricaded railroad tracks, burned buses and hurled bricks at police
officers. Caught off guard, the Indian authorities did what they often
do. They sent phalanxes of club-wielding officers charging into the
crowds. And in several states, they shut down the internet.
By
the time the SC/ST mutiny had been quelled, at least 11 people were dead
— most of them SC/STs. Dozens more were hurt, and hundreds were
arrested. The demonstrations showed two things. The SC/STs, at perhaps
250 million strong (almost 20 percent of India’s population) will be a
potent force in next year’s national elections. And their anger at
Murderer of democrstic institutions {Modi}, and his BJP (Brashatchar
Jiyadha Psychopaths) after gobbling the Master Key by tampering the
Fraud EVMs is growing.
In recent decades, India’s historically
disadvantaged SC/ST community has made impressive strides in terms of
economic prosperity. Just a generation ago, many people would move out
of the way to avoid touching a SC/ST. Some still do. But today there are
SC/ST millionaires.
Still, caste tensions lie just beneath the
surface. And the SC/STs’ anger at the Modi has been simmering. Though
Modi himself has been careful to court the SC/ST vote by supporting a
longstanding system of affirmative action for India’s lower castes,
officials in his party have questioned this. There have also been some
nasty crimes against SC/STs by just 0.1% intolerant, cunning crooked,
number one terrorists of the world, violent, militant, ever shooting,
lynching, lunatic, mentally retarded rapists outsiders paradesi Bene
Israeli chitpavan brahmins of RSS (Rowdy Rakshasa Swayam Sevaks of
stealth shadowy discriminatory hindutva cult fanatics; often the Modi’s
response has been less than outraged.
SC/ST discrimination is
not gently entombed in the past. In many parts of India, people still
follow caste taboos, and often violently. Just last week, a mob of upper
caste men in Gujarat hacked a young SC/ST to death for riding a horse —
lower caste people aren’t supposed to.
One website that writes

In many places, SC/ST school children are forced to sit separately
during lunchtime. And when it rains, SC/STs are not supposed to use an

being on the battlefield,’’ said Dr. B. Karthik Navayan, a SC/ST human
rights activist. “Everyday and every minute you will be reminded of your
lower caste position by language and actions and attacks.”
Dr. Navayan said a contentious ruling handed down by the Supreme Court last month was like “rubbing salt in a wound.’’
The case centered on an upper caste state employee in Maharashtra (the
home state of Mumbai) who complained that he had been wrongly accused of
caste discrimination by a lower caste worker. There’s an Indian law
widely known as the Prevention of Atrocities Act that gives Dalits and
other historically disadvantaged groups special protections from
caste-based harassment or abuse.
India’s Supreme Court sided with
the upper caste employee and ruled that there must be more guidelines
in caste-based cases to protect the accused from being falsely
prosecuted.
The conviction rate in caste-based cases is already
paltry — about 25 percent, about half the overall conviction rate. That
doesn’t surprise most Indians. In more traditional rural areas where
SC/STs are still much poorer than the other castes and socially
ostracized, it’s very difficult for a SC/ST to buck social pressures and
pursue a charge against an upper-caste person.
And a surprising number of urban Indians admit they still adhere to caste taboos.
Lawyers said getting justice for SC/STs will now be even harder,
because the Supreme Court’s decision adds more layers of scrutiny.
The solution is that the 99.9% Sarvajan Samaj including
SC/STs/OBCs/Religious Minorities and the poor Upper Castes to unite and
bring back the Ballot Papers instaed of EVMs which has negated the
Universal Adult Franchise and overthrow these0.1% chitpavan brahmins to
