NEW DELHI: Crime against Dalits increased 13409 with the compare of last year, during one year of Narendra Modi goveernment in 2014 National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) says. During the last few years when UPA was in power show that crimes against Scheduled Castes rose almost steadily to 47,064 in 2014 from 39,408 in 2013 (19%), 33,655 in 2012 (17%), 33,719 in 2011, 32,712 in 2010 and 33,594 in 2009.
In fact, the rate of such crimes surpassed the national average in as many as 10 states both in 2014 (23.4 per lakh of their population), and 2013 (19.57). Rate of crime against Scheduled Castes means number of crimes reported against SCs per one lakh of their population.
The Congress vice-president’s angry outburst about people “being killed left, right and centre” notwithstanding, 2014 saw as many as 744 Dalits murdered, up from 676 in 2013, 651 in 2012, 673 in 2011, 570 in 2010 and 624 in 2009. Interestingly, in Haryana, where Congress was in power until October last year, 21 persons belonging to the SC community were murdered in 2014.
Rape of Dalit women stood at 2,233 in 2014, up from 2,073 in 2013, 1,576 in 2012, 1,557 in 2011, 1,349 in 2010 and 1,346 in 2009. Kidnappings and abductions too went up, barring in 2012 which saw a marginal decline. Against 755 kidnappings/abductions in 2014, there were 628 in 2013, 490 in 2012, 616 in 2011, 511 in 2010 and 512 in 2009.
The crime-head ‘hurt’ showed 4,901 cases in 2013, 3,855 in 2012, 4,247 in 2011, 4,376 in 2010 and 4,410 in 2009.
A year-on-year comparison of incidence and rate of crimes against Scheduled Castes is not possible with respect to the current dispensation, as only one report has been put out by the NCRB since the Modi government took over. The 2014 figures may not be attributed entirely to the NDA regime as it took over only in May that year. The real year-on-year comparison under the current dispensation may be possible only after the NCRB puts out data for the year 2016.
