In a shocking revelation, just-released Government of India statistics suggest that 32.9 per cent of all convicts and 23.4 per cent of all undertrials in Gujarat's prisons are Dalits. What makes the situation particularly precarious for the state, being projected as "model" for the whole country to follow, is that Dalits in Gujarat form a just about 6.7 per cent (2011 Census) of the total population of the state - lower than any other major state of the country. This would suggest that there are 4.9 times higher convicts and 3.5 times higher undertrials than the proportion of their population - a disproportion activists link with "discrimination" against vulnerable communities. 1/3 of Gujarat's convicts are Dalits, which is highest in India http:// wp.me/p3IvGB-bNJ <http://t.co/p6oy8R2Gdb>
