Abstract

Communal violence against religious minorities and dalits is one of the oldest hate crimes. The root of the minority problem lies in oppression, suppression, discrimination, exclusion and denial of identity by other majority group. Since post independence era it is a matter of fact that in India, dominant communities tend to enjoy social, political and economic position in comparison to that of minorities and dalits. Our Constitution is safeguarding right of minorities and marginalized section of our society but nowadays increased number of mob violence and lynching incidents are alarming us, it’s showing failure of institutional machinery, which is essential to realisation of rights of vulnerable section and minorities.
