after independence, the practice of untouchability, violence against dalits,
atrocities against dalit women and routine discrimination in everyday life
continue in India . Despite the prohibition on untouchability found in Article 17 of
the Constitution of India, the practice of untouchability continues unabated,
whether it be in the drinking of water from wells or in forcing the community into
vocations that are unsuitable for human employment.

Violence Against Dalits

Even an elementary documentation from the main newspapers in the country will
show the exponential increase in the number of instances of violence against
dalits and also a sharp increase in the extent of brutality Throwing excreta into
wells, forcible eviction of dalits from their lands, destruction of dalit houses and
temples, social and economic boycotts, looting of cattle and destruction of crops
are only some of the atrocities perpetuated on dalits.
