21.02.2026.Untouchability News.(News of Dalits,Adivasi,atrocity,buddhist,Dr Ambedkar,Employement,Education news details from various sources)by Sivaji.Ayyayiram UTNews.9444917060


Here are the latest (21 Feb 2026) news developments in India related to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Dalits, Buddhist communities and Ambedkarite issues (state-wise / national context):

๐Ÿ—ž️ 1. SC/ST & Bhim Army Rally Opposing Supreme Court Stay (Madhya Pradesh)

• In Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh), members of SC, ST, OBC communities and activists from Bhim Army held a protest march demanding implementation of the UGC Equity Regulations Bill, 2026 — a set of rules intended to increase educational access and equity for reserved class students.
• The rally was stopped by police as the Supreme Court has temporarily stayed (paused) the implementation of these new rules. Protesters submitted a memorandum to officials on behalf of Dalit and allied groups.

➡️ This reflects continuing grassroots mobilization by Dalit and SC/ST organisations in central India over policies affecting educational and reservation equity.

⚖️ 2. SC Status & Religion Debate

• The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) reiterated that only those Dalits who practice Hinduism, Sikhism, or Buddhism are eligible for Scheduled Caste status under the Constitution.
• The Commission’s chairperson stated NCSC will oppose granting SC benefits to Dalit converts to religions other than these three.

➡️ This continues an ongoing legal and social debate in India about whether Dalits who convert to religions like Christianity or Islam should retain SC reservation benefits.

๐Ÿ“œ 3. Ongoing Public Awareness / Legacy of Dr B.R. Ambedkar

• While there were no breaking news stories specifically about Buddhist Dalit conversions or major Ambedkar events on 21 Feb 2026, Dr B.R. Ambedkar continues to feature in discussions on social equality and constitutional rights.
• Ambedkar is widely recognised as a central figure for Dalit rights and social justice in India; his advocacy for Buddhism as a path out of caste oppression remains historically significant.

☑️ 4. Other Related News (Context)

While not all are from 21 Feb 2026, they show the wider environment around SC/ST/Dalit issues:

• Court action: In Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High Court directed the government to act against individuals who converted to Christianity but continued to receive SC benefits — calling it a constitutional “fraud”.
• Dalit rights sentiment: Recent reporting shows Dalit groups demanding action against derogatory comments about Babasaheb Ambedkar under the SC/ST Atrocities Act.

17.12.2025.REMOVAL OF CREAMY LAYER IN SC.STs.RESERVATIONS. Former.CJI.GAVAI...by UT News.

Image
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. Several judges (including Justices B.R. Gavai, Vikram Nath, and others) observed that states should identify and exclude a "creamy layer" (socially/economically advanced sections) within SC/ST from reservation benefits, arguing this would ensure benefits reach the truly needy and achieve "real equality." 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...
