On February 9, 2026, and in the days surrounding it, several significant developments concerning Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and the Ambedkarite movement were reported across India. The news highlights a mix of legal victories, budget controversies, and ongoing reports of caste-based violence.

1. Legal & Constitutional News (Supreme Court)
The Supreme Court (SC) issued several rulings and observations that directly impact the SC/ST communities:
 * SC/ST Act Charges Quashed: The Supreme Court quashed charges under the SC/ST Act against Dr. Anand Rai (the Vyapam whistleblower) in a case relating to alleged caste-based violence.
 * Appeal Guidelines: The Court held that High Courts must independently apply their minds when hearing appeals under Section 14A of the SC/ST Act, rather than following lower court findings blindly.
 * Judicial Diversity Debate: Discussions continued regarding the lack of diversity in the higher judiciary. Reports indicated that between 2018 and 2024, only 20% of judicial appointees belonged to SC, ST, and OBC categories.

2. Statewise News & Atrocity Reports
Atrocity reports continue to show high concentration in specific states. According to current government reviews:
 * Uttar Pradesh (UP): Continues to lead in cases of atrocities against Dalits, accounting for nearly 24% of the national total.
 * Rajasthan & Madhya Pradesh: Following UP, these states reported high volumes of cases. In Madhya Pradesh, a specific case involved the quashing of charges against a whistleblower, highlighting the complex use of the Act.
 * Andhra Pradesh: On Feb 21, the "Dalit Sthree Sakthi" (DSS) marked 20 years of struggle in Vijayawada, advocating for the rights of Dalit and Adivasi women.

3. Political & Budget News
 * "Casteist Betrayal": On February 10, 2026, opposition leaders (Congress) called the Union Budget 2026 a "casteist betrayal." They alleged that while ₹1.96 lakh crore was projected for SCs, only about ₹75,077 crore was specifically allocated for targeted welfare schemes, with the rest being merged into general programs.

4. Ambedkarite & Buddhist Movement
 * New UGC Regulations: New equity regulations from the UGC aimed at curbing caste discrimination on campuses became a major talking point. These rules were the result of a long legal battle by the mothers of Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi.
 * Dalit-Buddhist Discourse: There is a renewed focus on "Navayana Buddhism" as a tool for social liberation, especially in response to ongoing conversion laws in various states that target SC/ST individuals.

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. Davinder Singh (1 August 2024), a seven-judge Constitution Bench allowed states to sub-classify SC/ST groups to provide more targeted quotas to the most disadvantaged sub-groups.

They suggested criteria for SC/ST creamy ...

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...
