Use term Scheduled Caste, not Dalit: I&B ministry to TV channels
In compliance with Bombay High Court's order, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has asked Indian television channels to use the term 'Scheduled Caste' instead of 'Dalit' in its advisory. The advisory has been reportedly issued only to private channels. The HC's order was based on a petition seeking removal of the word 'Dalit' from all government documents and communications.
