Abstract :
Human Rights violations in the Hindu society have continued to remain an integral factor in India for about 3000 years. Violations were originally the result of strict observance of 'Varunasirama-Dharma' code which was diametrically opposed to the Dalit masses in India. Even after May years of our Independence, the concept of fraternity among Indian brotherhood remains theoretical.1 The limbs of Indian Democracy, such as the Administrative set up, laws and courts, serve the ruling class of India rather than the welfare of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (SC/STs). Hence it is inevitable for Dalits to organize themselves and lead agitations for the promotion of their welfare. But the intolerant higher caste people launch counter attacks on Dalits by mobilizing their socio-economic and political power.2 As a result Dalits houses have become the targets of attack, endangering their precious life and livelihood, either overtly or covertly. Therefore, the violations against Dalit Human Rights have assumed higher dimensions.
