[QUOTE="Admin, post: 113543, member: 1"] [B][SIZE=5]Discrimination is Massive[/SIZE][/B] India has continually been coming under attack from global rights activists on the issue of caste. It wants to somehow deny that discrimination on grounds of race and caste is inhuman, unjust and illegal, and against the legal and moral standards set up by specific country legislations, Regional Human Rights Charters, UN Charter of Human Rights and the various UN Covenants and Conventions. In Numbers, Substance, and Time, Dalits are the largest and most significant segment of the discriminated world population. That 260 million people in South Asia alone, perhaps more than the population of some of the European countries, are systemically subjected to continuous discrimination based on descent and work should be a mind-boggling factor for any human being sensitive to human rights. Discriminated in multiple forms and in various aspects of life on grounds of work and descent, they ought to attract global attention, concern, and commitment. That they have been humiliated by gross violations of their rights for centuries should at least now, though far belated, awaken world conscience - that of peoples and governments. In spite of five decades and talk of Constitutional provisions proclaiming abolition and prohibition of such discrimination, there is hardly any change today in their living conditions and in their right to live a dignified life. A 160 million of them live in India alone. For them the right to equality and freedom is still a mirage. India's position that "Caste Discrimination is not Racial Discrimination" is increasingly being blown to smithereens. India is almost saying in several ways that discrimiantion due to caste is a practice that is so old that it cannot be eliminated rapidly. But the world has exhausted its patience. The de facto perpetuation of the caste system entrenches social differences and contributes to daily violations. The existence of discrimination towards Dalits has been recognized by various national bodies in India and by the National leaders. The Dalits are in different stages of socio-economic development and are engaged in divergent forms of work for their living. The practice of such traditional unclean occupations as scavenging, carrying night soil, removing dead animals, leather work, beating of drums, etc. gave them a low position in the traditional caste hierarchy and they are viewed as occupying the lowest rung of the social ladder. The vast majority of Dalits are landless and work as agricultural labourers and wage earners to work out their livelihood. Dependence on upper class land owners for agricultural labour and perpetual subjugation, force many of them to live as bonded labourers. ... The condition of the Dalit women in particular is deplorable. They are doubly underprivileged, being women and belonging to a Schedule Caste. They constitute the major work force doing hard manual labour and engage in agricultural operations and their exposure to outdoor work and interaction with cunning employers make them vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Abject poverty forces Dalit women to become 'Devadasi' the prevalent institutionalized prostitution system. [/QUOTE]
