Dalit word is unconstitutional: Scheduled Caste Commission
Jan 18, 2008, 15:46 IST
RAIPUR: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has asked the
state governments not to use the word 'Dalit' in official documents,
saying the term was "unconstitutional".
The Commission has stated that sometimes the word 'Dalit' is used as a
substitute for Scheduled Caste in official documents, sources in State
Tribal Department said on Friday.
After consultation with the legal department, the Commission said that
the word is neither constitutional nor the word has been mentioned in
the current laws.
Rather 'Scheduled Caste' is the appropriate and notified word as per
the Article 341 of the Constitution, it said in a letter sent to all
states.
Acting upon the order, the Chhattisgarh government has directed
District Collectors and its departments not to use 'Dalit' word in
their documents, they said.
