Introduction

There are indeed cases of atrocities on weaker sections (like African Americans) in US, and cases of atrocities on Gypsies in Europe. But cases of atrocities on Dalits are far more severe.

The purpose of this article is to enumerate and discuss ONLY those factors
  1. which decrease atrocities, are present in West, and absent in India
  2. which increase atrocities, present in India, and absent in West
The purpose of this article is NOT to enumerate factors that are present/absent in BOTH countries. Hence a large number of factors, such as moral values, history, greed etc will get dismissed as non-issues. Why? Becuase greed is present in US/West as well as India. And moral values are at same level in India as well as West.


Factors why atrocities on weaker sections are much higher in India

Trivial.
  1. The weaker sections, like Dalits, are financially speaking MUCH weaker that corresponding weaker sections in US such as African Americans.

  2. The courts and prosecution in India are highly defunct and nexused, and so it is easy for aggressors to walk away .

  3. In Us/Europe, the victims can obtain financial compensation from aggressors for the atrocities committed. Such compensations, which are financial punishments on the agressors, reduce atrocities. But in India, the civil courts are clogged with cases, and delay is excessive as courts are few in number. And hence it is impossible for victims to use courts to demand a compensation against atrocities. But courts and prosecution in India are highly defunct and nexused, and so it is easy for aggressors to walk away. Hence, forget prisons, there is NOT even some financial deterrent against committing atrocities.

Hence more atrocities in India.


How can citizens of India reduce atrocities on Dalits?

Trivial.

  1. Steps 1-3: The citizens should force MLAs, MPs and District Panchayat Members to create procedures that would enable citizens to pass laws in District Panchayats, Assemblies and Parliament. Please read LM.01 to see the procedure using which citizens can pass laws in District Panchayats and City Councils. Please read LM.02 to see the procedure using which citizens can pass laws in Assembly. And please read LM.03 to see the procedure using which citizens can pass laws in Parliament.

  2. Steps 4-18 : The citizens of India, using LM.01-03 can enact procedures EAS.01-15. These procedures will create an income for EVERY citizen from the rent/royalty that Govt gets Govt-owned natural resources. This will increase the financial strength of the individuals of weaker sections such as Dalits, and make it easier for them to fight. In addition, the guaranteed income will make improve their negotiating strength during the fights.

  3. Steps 19-23 : The citizens of India, using LM.01-03 can enact procedures CT.05-09. These procedures will create Jury System in Quasi-Courts, Lower Courts, High Courts and also the Supreme Courts, The Jurors DO NOT have nexuses with lawyers, criminals etc and so atrocious persons will NOT be able to get acuqitals easily. This will reduce atrocities on weaker sections.

  4. Steps 24-27 : The citizens of India, using LM.01-03 can enact procedures CT.10 , CT.11 , CT.13 and CT.15. These procedures will enable citizens to elect/expel Lower Court Judges, High Court Judges, Supreme Court Judges and Public Prosecutors. This reduce the castist zeal in govt lawyers and judges, and will reduce atrocities.

These TRIVIAL steps will reduce slums. Please note that it is not a requirement that citizens must take all 20-30 steps, and ONLY then slums will reduce. The first three steps on their own do NOT reduce slums --- they only reduce the cost of taking next 20-30 steps. And each step reduces slums by a fraction, irrespective of other steps are taken or not. Togather, they will reduce the slums to near zero. Except steps1-3, there is no significant dependency.


Non solutions : steps even if taken, will NOT reduce frauds

Following are non-solutions i.e. steps even if taken by govt, will NOT reduce frauds
  1. Improving moral character of students/people : Its impossible to improve moral character of atrocious persons.

  2. Education : Education has indeed reduced atrocities, but that is ONLY becuase education has sometimes improved financial strength. When education could NOT improve financial strength, it has failed to rescue the weak. So focus should be on increas ing the financial strength, and less on the education.

  3. Appointing various commissions : like human rights commission, dalit commissione etc. Unless these commissions are Jury based, the powerful and habitual atrocious simply form nexuses with them, and there will no effective reduction in atrocities.

  4. Raising awareness : Unless courts imprison/fine the atrocious persons, only awareness about atrocities will increase and there will be no decrease in atrocities.

There are simply too many non-solutions to re-butt. All these non-solutions have become popular becuase of nexuses of intellectuals with those who benefit.
