The latest NCRB data poses an important dilemma for governments: Violence against STS cannot be allowed to continue or escalate

• The NCRB reports a 28.8% increase in atrocities against Scheduled Tribes (STs) in 2023.

• A significant factor for this rise is the conflict in Manipur, which saw a jump to 3,399 cases from just one in 2022.

• Other states like Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan also show alarming numbers of crimes against STs.

• The rise may partly reflect greater awareness and reporting, yet the statistics remain troubling.

• The need for ground-level interventions and inclusive policies is emphasized.

• Recent initiatives by the Centre for tribal outreach include PM JANMAN and DAJGUA, yet violence persists.

• In Madhya Pradesh, serious crimes against STs continue, with incidents involving police misconduct and viral social media cases.

• Social awareness and sustained sensitization programs are crucial to combat entrenched biases against tribal communities.

• Both BJP and Congress governments have struggled to protect tribal rights and ensure justice, indicated by differing charge- sheeting rates in Madhya Pradesh (98.4%) and Rajasthan (42.3%).

• A call for the new Rajasthan government to take corrective actions to promote a “Viksit Bharat” (developed India) without ongoing violence against marginalized communities is voiced.

ST Atrocities Surge is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
