Bhopal:In a startling revelation that lays bare the deep-rooted caste and gender-based violence in Indian society, the Madhya Pradesh government on Tuesday presented data in the state assembly that shows a disturbing pattern of crimes against women from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes communities.
Responding to a question raised by opposition MLA Arif Masood, the government disclosed that between 2022 and 2024, a total of 7,418 rape cases were registered against women from SC/ST communities.
This translates to an average of seven Dalit or Adivasi women raped every day in the state over the past three years.
The data also revealed that 558 women from these communities were murdered, while 338 were victims of gangrape during the same period.
