Incentives for inter-caste marriages may help curb atrocities on Dalits: Parliament panel

议会委员会：奖励跨种姓婚姻或有助于减少对达利特的暴行

NEW DELHI: With inter-caste marriages involving a Dalit spouse rising last year, a parliamentary committee believes that schemes like the one incentivising such wedlocks may be the way to curb the high rate of atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

新德里：随着涉及达利特配偶的跨种姓婚姻在去年上升，一个议会委员会认为，鼓励跨种姓婚姻的计划或可遏制针对表列种姓和表列部落的高暴行率。

The panel’s recommendation comes in the backdrop of the paradox that while there has been an increase in inter-caste marriages involving SCs, crimes against the SCs/STs remain high. As a result, the panel believes that schemes that promote “social integration and harmony and remove practice of untouchability and caste-based discrimination” should be implemented in states where atrocities are high.

虽然跨种姓婚姻有所增加，但针对表列种姓和表列部落的犯罪仍然很高。因此，该委员会认为，在此类暴行猖獗的邦，应实施促进“社会融合与和谐、消除不可接触和种姓歧视的做法”的计划。

The central scheme — “incentive for inter-caste marriage” — reported an increase last year. While 17,263 claims were made in 2016-17, it went up to 20,253 in 2017-18 and further up to 23,355 in 2019-20. Under the scheme, cash incentive is provided to every couple in which one spouse is SC.

据报道，这项名为“奖励跨种姓婚姻”是中央计划，去年申请奖励的数量有所增加。2016-17年度，有17263份申请，2017-18年度增加到20253份，2019-20年度进一步增加到23355份。根据该计划，每对配偶中有一人为表列种姓的夫妇都可获得现金奖励。

Noting that as per NCRB, 2,02,427 atrocity cases against SCs and 33949 cases against STs were registered between 2015-2019, the panel said, “Unfortunately, this figure may actually be higher as several cases go unreported. The committee feel that sincere efforts at the execution level to create awareness as well as sensitise people to come out of their prejudices and bias against the SCs and create an equal society, are urgently required. Some of the states still have a glaring number of atrocity cases despite prevailing laws.”

该委员会指出，根据国家犯罪调查委员会的规定，2015-2019年期间，针对表列种姓的暴行案件有202427起，针对表列部落的暴行案件有33949起，“不幸的是，很多案件没有报告，这一数字实际上可能更高。委员会认为，迫切需要在执行层面做出实际努力，以提高人们的意识和敏感性，消除他们对表列种姓的偏见，创建一个平等的社会。在现行法律下，一些邦仍然出现了大量暴行案件。”

Firstly, scrap reservations to achieve harmony and equality in the society. Secondly, try promoting Inter-Caste marriages amongst the different sections of SC and STs. Thirdly convince the upper caste shudras to marry the lower caste shudras as they all belong to the same varna.

首先，废除预留制，实现社会的和谐与平等。

其次，尝试在表列种姓和表列部落间促进跨种姓婚姻。

第三，说服高种姓首陀罗与低种姓首陀罗结婚，他们属于同一个等级。

I am from a Brahmin family. I am all for reservation and financial support to our SC & Dalits brothers & sisters as they have at historic disadvantage, but after admission, they should graduate based on merit...

我来自婆罗门家庭。我完全赞成预留制，支持给我表列种姓和达利特兄弟姐妹提供经济支持，毕竟他们处于劣势。在录取后，能毕业与否应该根据成绩来决定。，

Hence, in Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has clearly supported inter caste marriages.

在《薄伽梵歌》中，克利须那神显然支持跨种姓婚姻的。

Parashar M

All OBCs call themselves as Ksthtriya snd hold sway in the areas they concentrate. Jats, Gurjars, Yadavs, Kurmi etc are enjoying reservation just because of vote bank politics.

所有落后阶层都在他们集中的地区拥有支配地位。贾特人、古吉拉特人、亚达夫、库马尔等种姓只是因为“选票银行政治”而享受预留名额。

Best solution is to stop asking caste and religionnin every form....

最好的解决办法是不要再管种姓和宗教了....

Inter caste marriages is not the solution. Economic parity is the solution. Atrocities are committed by rich and powerful on poor strata of society irrespective of their caste and creed.

跨种姓婚姻不是解决问题的办法。解决办法是实现经济平等。富人和权贵对穷人阶层犯下暴 行，不管他们属于什么种姓，信仰哪个宗教。

Appoint dalits in lead roles of RSS. Things will start to improve.

任命达利特人担任RSS的领导职务，情况将开始好转。

Vjay San

Paying people to be decent is akin to rewarding indecency.

为了让人们这么做，以金钱作为奖励，这无异于奖励不雅行为。

When our constitution discriminates on the basis of caste based reservation then do not finger further.

我们有基于种姓的预留制，这说明宪法有歧视，没必要再说了。

Rana Pratap

Atrocities happen when there is lack of spirituality and economic inequality. The govt should focus on economic progress of the society then these things will get fixed by themselves. Alas the corrupt politicians are looting the country causing social unrest dividing people on the basis of caste.

在经济不平等的情况下，暴 行就会发生。印度政府应该关注社会的经济发展，这些问题自然会化解。印度腐 败的政客们正在掠夺这个国家，造成社会动荡，按照种姓分裂人民。

SUNIL KUMAR IYENGAR

If India is to become an equitable and strong nation, we should also promote inter religion marriages and bring out a change such that caste and religion are no longer part of any quota list.

如果印度要成为一个公平、强大的国家，我们也应该促进跨宗教婚姻，做出改变，不要再根据种姓和宗教分配名额。

Ab

I struggle to understand why one’s caste or religion should be of any consequence, when they get married. In fact, these days, it seems that even sexual orientation should no longer be a factor. It should just be a union of two consenting adults, who have reached certain age / maturity.

我很难理解为什么结婚时，种姓或宗教会是障碍。

如今就连性取向似乎也不再是一个因素了。婚姻只不过两个已经达到一定年龄的成年人的结合。

Jagadeesh R

first of all it's not govt business to promote inter caste or inter religion marriages, it's individual choice.

首先，促进跨种姓或跨宗教婚姻不是政府的事，这是个人选择。

Jagdish Chandra

Two spearheading de ocratic nations are US economic and military Supper Power and India biggest liberal set up of the globe is pulling the opposite site to each other. The System of arrange marriage has no place in US while it is dominant force in India

两大民*国家是美国和印度，美国是经济和军事超级大国，而印度是全球最大的自由国家。包办婚姻制度在美国没有市场，而在印度却占主导地位。

Kumar Swamy

There are no atrocities on Dalits..Only dalit are doing atrocities on forward caste by using sc/st law

没有针对达利特人的暴 行。只有达利特才会利用法律的照顾对高种姓实施暴 行

Monika jain

appoint dalit head priest of all over indian madir and inalaya .

任命达利特为印度各大寺庙的首席祭司。

Arun

Incentives are required to encourage such marriages, will help remove social biases in society.

我们应当激励跨种姓婚姻，此举有助于消除社会中的偏见。
