My Dear Shyam,
You are giving your comment without applying your mind in analysing the things. Most of SC/STs are poor and weak in all respects. They are regularly harassed by powerfull people mostly, so called uppercaste, in public as well as inside door.
If these poor people are protecting themselves, according to law, against such attrocities , what is wrong in it.
How many are free to complaint against powerfull people? How many complaints from SC/STs are recorded by powerfull people sitting inadminstration?
Please go, having a fair attitude, for a survey, collect data, analyse it then give ur remark. It does not mean that I am justifying any misuse of ACT/Law. I fully aggree with views of raj kumar makkad, Advocate.
The caste hierarchy is so placed in our blood that every person from upper caste feels that it is his inherited right to insult/humiliate SC/STs publically/privately like a father feels that it is his right to slap his son. When a father slaps his son publically/privately, there is no reaction in our society, but if son slaps his father it spreads like ... and every one in our society reacts very adversely. Before reacting people should think that son is also human being as well as his father.
