Answer:
Any discrimination based on caste is a punishable act, but hardly anyone is afraid as upper caste people openly defy the law. It is obvious that the state appears apathetic to implement the anti-caste law seriously. Emancipation of Dalits has remained confined within slogans only. Political leaders raise this issue now and then and draw attention of Dalits to win elections, but renege on their promises after winning the election. It makes them feel weaker because of this superstitions which is so called "Untouchability" and because of Untouchability our country is becoming weaker day by day.
Hope this helps..
