Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocites) Act., 1989[edit]

I think in the times when the present government is trying to bring in reservations what is being dusted under the carpet is the whole issue of how SC/STs are treated in our country. Though an Act exists to help uplift their position, it remains to be seen if the Act is in fact effective? The present tries to analyze that and shows how inconsistentcies exist in the Act and what can be done to over come them.Prashant Roy 06:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

spelling- (Prevention of Atrocities) and not '(Prevetion of Attrocites)' in the name... --h y dka t 14:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. A good start, but a lot needs to be done. First of all, the lead is not a proper summary of the article. See WP:LEAD for details. Also, the article basically starts after the act was implemented. What about the history of the act? Details on the historical cases that led to the enforcement of the act? Were there any political activities involved? Which parties supported/opposed it? These details can be included to make the article more coherent. Another issue is the article is its tone. After reading the article, it seems that the article is written in a tone of hopelessness. Avoid using phrases such as "glaring example", "situation has not improved much", etc. Also, the section on Suggestions is full of Original research. It should be toned down, and the section should deal with well-cited facts. Implementing these suggestions should make the article a decent B-class article. Hope this helps. — Ambuj Saxena (☎) 09:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
