The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data on prisons show that Dalits and Tribals continue to be jailed in numbers disproportionate to their share of the population, unlike OBCs and those belonging to the general category. According to the National Crime Record Bureau report titled ‘Prison Statistics India 2021’, around 30 per cent of all the convicts, 29.54 per cent of undertrials and 37 per cent of detenues in Tamil Nadu’s prison are Dalits who constitute 21 per cent of the state’s population. At the end of 2019, tribals made up 3.20 per cent of all convicts in jails across the country. The share of Scheduled Tribes among undertrials languishing in jails stood at 2.97 per cent. The 2011 census put the tribal population in the state at 1.10 per cent.

India reported over 4 lakh cases of crimes against women last year with Uttar Pradesh holding the unpleasing position of being at the list with nearly 60,000 such incidents, as per the latest official data by National Crime Record Bureau. The numbers on the crime chart speak a different story, contrary to Yogi Adityanath-led state government’s claim that crime against women has seen a sharp dip in the three years. The unabated horrific acts of rapes and gang-rapes, some also including the killing of the victim, continue at an alarming speed.
