Here are the important news and developments from India related to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Dalits, Adivasis, and Buddhists around the date 03 February 2026 (and very recent context around it):

๐Ÿ“ฐ Atrocity & Caste-Related Incident Reports

๐Ÿ”น Dalit man attacked in Ahmedabad (Ranip)
A 25-year-old Dalit man was allegedly slashed during a dispute in Ranip, Ahmedabad. The police registered an FIR under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act along with other criminal charges against six accused.

๐Ÿ”น Tragic suicide linked to caste and violence
In Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, a 14-year-old Dalit girl died by suicide after the accused in her molestation case was granted bail and allegedly threatened her to withdraw the case. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about safety and justice for caste-minority women.

๐Ÿ“Š Buddhism and Cultural Initiatives (India)

๐Ÿ”ธ New Buddhist-Meditation Centre in Andhra Pradesh
The Mahabodhi Society, together with Andhra University, inaugurated the Mahabodhi Mekapati Goutham Reddy International Centre for Meditation-Dhamma in Visakhapatnam. This facility aims to promote peace, mental well-being, and Dhamma teachings, and includes halls for Vipassana meditation and an upcoming Tripiแนญaka library.

๐Ÿ”ธ Religious Observances & Cultural Practices (Sikkim)
Sikkim has enforced a ban on animal slaughter during key Buddhist holy days and related observances from Feb 18 to March 18, 2026, as part of cultural and religious observance practices tied to Buddhist traditions.

๐Ÿ”ธ Cultural Text Translation Initiative
An academic initiative under the Sutra Project has led to the translation of 84 verses of the Bhagavad Gita and key Buddhist texts into accessible languages to broaden public understanding of philosophical literature.

๐Ÿ“Œ Important Context and Broader Issues (Background)

Here’s helpful background context connected to caste, tribal, and Buddhist issues (not new but relevant for understanding trends):

  • The SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act remains a key legal safeguard for Dalits and tribal communities, with ongoing public debate about its implementation and misuse in some cases. (general context)
  • Long-running caste-violence cases (historical massacres like Bathani Tola, Belchhi, Melavalavu) illustrate the deep historical roots of caste atrocities in India.
  • Religious and constitutional debates continue around reservation rights, conversion, and status of Dalits converting to different religions (e.g., Buddhism vs. Christianity/Islam). (general context)

Sivaji Ayyayi r kiam. UT News. The creamy layer concept, which excludes economically advanced individuals from reservation benefits, currently applies only to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in India (typically those with family income above ₹8 lakh per year).  It does not apply to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) reservations. Supreme Court Observations (August 2024) In a landmark 6:1 majority judgment in State of Punjab v.

These dalit families, traditionally cobblers and weavers, were denied entry to the temple during the Maha Shivratri celebrations, exposing the illusion of a modern and egalitarian state. They were finally able to visit the temple, but only under police protection. This incident is far from isolated. Caste di...
