A three-member commission to be headed by ex-CJI K.G. Balakrishnan has been asked to study the SC status of Dalits post-conversion.
The 2011 Census places the number of scheduled castes in India at 16.6 percent of the total population, or approximately 166,635,700 people. |
Who can be considered a scheduled caste?
Caste: Caste is something that is determined by the birth of an individual. According to D.N. Mazumdar; – ‘Caste is a closed class’ i.e. class refers to people based on property, business, occupation i.e. one cannot change his own caste system but can change the class system and can be a member of many classes at the same time. |
