During the late 80s and early 90s, the caste supremacists would either stop people belonging to the SC community from contesting the polls or elect a candidate of their choice and coerce them to quit as soon as they take charge. (1) 
That was the scenario in Pappapatti, Keeripatti and Nattarmangalam, hamlets in Madurai district notorious for discrimination against the Dalits. (2)
The new era were the SC community Local body chiefs are insulted and humiliated by the Vice President who is the original contender for the President's post but couldn't make up since the post is reserved for SCs. We all should be ashamed to live in such a uncivilized society (3)
Strict implementation of SC/ST Atrocities Act is the need of the hour. (4)/end
