The statutory protection/cover provided to SC/ST seems to be behind the higher than normal prevalence of corruption among SC/ST officials. The same holds true for dalit politicians who are corrupt. For instance, it is an open secret that during her tenure Mayawaty amassed huge assets through corrupt methods and BSP became one of the richest political parties in India, but no political heavy weight has the courage to call her corrupt. Just like any other law,(Section 498 of IPC) this satatute which provides safeguards to dalits and weaker sections has been misused by the corrupt and dishonest. We see in Govt. offices that many SC/ST candidates misuse the provision and wilfully derelict the duty. It is time that India started thinking about taming this unrestricted provison. This will only help improve efficiency in the government offices.

Agree with you.People are afraid to call the SC/ST corrupt for fear of being accused of being anti SC/ST and being hauled up.The leaders of this community have not set a good example and are not role models.Asish Nandy should not have blamed this community alone since the upper castes are equally corrupt since they were the ruling elite all these days.
Human greed is common to all communities and unless we have a transparent and effective systems all sections will continue to indulge in corruption.Society as a whole has degenerated and the govt has failed completely with the leaders setting an example of how to be corrupt.
ashish nandi loss his mental condition or delibrately makeing this statement, and now going to supreme court for reject fir, he should be arrest the same day and frame the charges for SC ST Law

I am not saying that upper caste people are not corrupt but Mulayam singh Yadav, Lallu Yadav, Raja, Marans, DMK clan, Mayawati, laxman,.... do not belong to Upper caste.
When will India stop talking about Castes, Minority , Majority etc. Indians are corrupt period. Just treat Indians as Indians. There should be only economical classes thats all.
Corruption is prevalent in the blood of Indians it has got nothing to do with caste, the professor is a paid stooge of the neighboring country, using his position to drive a wedge among Indians.
