About PVCHR
PVCHR Peoples Vigilance Committee on Human
Rights was started in 1996 as a membership based
human rights movement in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh),
one o the most traditional, conservative and segre-
gated regions in India.
PVCHRworks to ensure basic rights or marginalized
groups in the Indian society e.g. children, women,
Dalits, tribes and to create a human rights culture
based on democratic values. PVCHRideology is in-
spired by the ather o the Dalit movment, Dr. B. D.
Ambedkar, who struggled against Brahmanism
and the caste hierarchical system pre vailing in India.
In 1999, PVCHRormed the public charitable trust
Jan Mitra Nyas (JMN)to monitor and evaluate activi-
ties, to operate the bank account and to enable the
organisation to have ocial clearance or receiving
oreign grants.
The oce o the PVCHRwas inaugurated by Justice
M. N. VenkatachaliaEx-Chairperson, National Human
Rights Commission and Former Judge Supreme
Court o India.

D a l i t s
InhumanDalits are over 160 million people in India,
who are considered Untouchable
people tainted by their birth into a caste
system that deems them impure, less thanhuman. Dalits are relegated to the lowest
jobs and live in constant fear of being public-
ly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten,
and raped with impunity by upper-caste
Hindus seeking to keep them in their place.
Merely walking through an upper-caste
neighbourhood is a life-threatening offence.

Despite the act that untouchability was ocially
banned when India adopted its constitution in 1950,
discrimination against Dalits remained so pervasi-ve that in 1989 the government passed legislation
known as The Prevention o Atrocities Act. The act
specically made it illegal to parade people naked
through the streets, orce them to eat aeces, take
away their land, oul their water, interere with their
right to vote, and burn down their homes.
Since then, the violence has escalated, largely as
a result o the emergence o a grassroots human
rights movement among Dalits to demand their
rights and resist the dictates o untouchability.

When the national rate o literacy touches 67%,
among the Dalits it is a mere 32%. And i at all you
are a woman rom that community, it is still less at23%. Only 6% o the Dalits own land, most o them
labour in someone else eld or migrate to the cities.
Their standards o living orce their children to work
as child labourer even in hazardous industries.
The severest human rights violations in India, as
the widespread use o custodial torture, are closelylinked to caste based discrimination. In the con-
text o crime investigation suspects are tortured to
enorce conessions. Due to the absence o an in-
dependent agency to investigate cases, complaints
are oten not properly prooed and perpetratorsare
not prosecuted and punished. The discrimination o
women and gender based violence which includesdomestic violence, dowry linked violence, sexual as-
sault, sexual harassment and sex-selective abortion
is one o the most relevant human rights issues in
India.

How We Work
Indians society, especially in the rural areas, is stillinfuenced by eudalism and the caste system which
continues to determine the political, social, and eco-
nomic lie o the country. Caste based discrimination
is practiced in the educational system, in places o
work, villages and towns and even in courts o ju-
stice. The most heinous impacts o caste based dis-
criminations are starvation and malnutrition. Acutepoverty and cases o starvation occur especially in
marginalized groups in the Indian society like minori-
ty communities, tribes and Dalits.
