Annexure 11(b) Para 10.7 Letter of the Chairperson of the Commission dated 3 rd August 2004, to the Union Ministers Regarding Prevention of Atrocities Against Scheduled Castes D.O.No.20/1/2004-PRP&P 3 August 2004 Dear Minister, The National Human Rights Commission has been deeply concerned about the human rights violations faced by persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes. Despite elaborate provisions in the Constitution and other laws, it is an unfortunate reality that social injustice and exploitation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections persist. Atrocities against persons belonging to these groups appear in the Press and the frequency with which they occur is a cause for disquiet. The humiliation which persons belong to the Scheduled Castes in general and the Dalits in particular suffer even today, more than half a century after India proclaimed itself to be a Republic, is a matter of shame. The Commission, therefore, requested Shri K.B.Saxena, a retired IAS officer, to go into the entire gamut of issues related to atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and submit a report. He has since submitted a comprehensive and detailed report, which has been considered by the Commission. In the Report there are a number of useful recommendations to prevent atrocities against Scheduled Castes (page 203-265). The Commission commends them for your consideration and further action. I am also separately writing to the Chief Ministers of all States and Union Territories with a request to initiate appropriate action in this regard. Many of the recommendations relate to Union Ministries and other Central agencies. A co-ordinated effort by different arms of the Centre will help ensure that persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes lead a life of dignity and enjoy the full range of human rights, just as other sections of the society. To, Union Ministers Yours sincerely, Sd/- (A.S.Anand) 266 National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 286 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
Annexure 11(c) Para 10.7 D.O.No.20/1/2004-PRP&P 3 August 2004 Dear Letter of the Chairperson of the Commission dated 3 rd August 2004, to the Chief Ministers of all States/UTs Regarding Prevention of Atrocities Against Scheduled Castes The National Human Rights Commission has been deeply concerned about the atrocities against persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes. Despite the elaborate provisions in the Constitution and other laws, it is an unfortunate reality that social injustice and exploitation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections persist. There are frequent reports in the media about atrocities against persons belonging to these groups. The humiliation which persons belong to the Scheduled Castes in general and the Dalits in particular suffer even today, more than half a century after India proclaimed itself to be a Republic, is a matter of shame. Article 15 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination based on caste and that Constitutional guarantee must be honoured. Various protective provisions in the laws enacted by the Parliament to protect the SCs need to be enforced. The Commission, requested Shri K.B.Saxena, a retired IAS officer, to go into the entire gamut of issues related to atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and submit a report. He has since submitted a comprehensive and detailed report, which has been considered by the Commission. The report has made a number of useful recommendations to address this issue (page 203-265). In particular, the Commission wishes to draw your attention to the following recommendations: - - Identify atrocity and untouchability prone areas and prepare a plan of action; - Appointment of exclusive special courts where volume of atrocity cases is large and appoint competent and committed special public prosecutors; - A 3-tier Training programme for police and civil functionaries; National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 267 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 287 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
