Ban on term Dalit in media not feasible: Press Council on I&B order
The Press Council of India (PCI) has decided against issuing a directive to the media prohibiting the use of the word 'Dalit', saying a blanket ban was neither advisable nor feasible. This comes months after the Information and Broadcasting Ministry issued an advisory asking all private satellite TV channels to use the term 'Scheduled Caste' instead of 'Dalit'.
