This book attempts to explore the history of practice of untouchability and commission of atrocities on the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. It traces out the causes and factors responsible for origin and continuance of atrocities on SCs and STs, and explicates the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Also, the book examines all the available material, in the form of decided cases, reports and journals, to assess the responses of the legal system functionaries towards the law enacted for prevention of atrocities and to remove the factors responsible for commission of atrocities.
