Dalit Human Rights

EDM number 346 in 2003-04, proposed by John McDonnell on 06/01/2004.

That this House deplores continued and organised atrocities against Dalits in South Asia, especially in India; calls upon the Home Office to monitor the activities of extremist Hindutva organisations operating in the United Kingdom to ensure that they are not supporting atrocities against Dalits in India, to monitor the activities of all groups promoting caste and descent-based discrimination and the practice of untouchability and to take measures to prohibit such practices; recommends that the Department for International Development and all UK-based international aid agencies re-evaluate their development policies, programmes, co-operation agreements and use of aid on the basis of their effect on Dalit communities; and calls for implementation by the UK Government of recommendations on descent-based discrimination made by the UN Committee for Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
