Supplements constitutional safeguards with penal measures against violence or humiliation of SC/ST individuals. Special courts expedite trials, imposing stringent punishments. The Act criminalizes social boycotts, denial of rightful access, or forced labor. While it deters discrimination, false implications and administrative lapses hamper efficiency. Courts interpret it strictly, balancing victim protection with fair investigation. Coupled with reservation and Commission oversight, it aims to eradicate centuries-old oppression. However, deep social prejudice requires broader reforms—awareness campaigns, economic empowerment, better policing. Mastering the Act clarifies India’s multi-pronged approach to ensuring SC/ST dignity and bridging social disparities.
