Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the article given below.
P: Violence and atrocities against Dalits cannot be linked to any party or government. More than a law and order issue, such violence is a social phenomenon. How can anyone, who has a sense of nationalism and patriotism, discriminate on the basis of caste? Such problems have existed in other societies as well but they were remedied in modern times. India has fared poorly compared to the West in this respect. Why didn't India have upper caste heroes like the abolitionists in the US such as Abraham Lincoln and John Brown? Lincoln had to pay the price for liberating blacks with his life. Today the African-American community in the US has illustrious figures like President Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey.
Q: Furthermore, several loopholes in our legal system ensured that a vast majority of crimes against Dalits went unpunished. The perpetrators of such acts know that the poor and Dalits cannot hire expensive lawyers. So they do not think twice before inflicting violence on them; they also have the support of many people from their caste. Normally, the state should not interfere in social and cultural matters, but India needs major social reforms -even revolution.
R: The lynching of Dalits in Una, Dayashankar Singh's statement on Mayawati and several other abominable acts against Dalits are testimonies to how society treats them. In Una, Dalits were beaten up for skinning a dead cow ? they had not killed the animal in question. There was a similar incident In Haryana's Jhajjar district in October 2002. Five Dalits, who were rumoured to have killed a cow, were beaten to death. But they had merely skinned the dead animal. Such violence stems from a mind-set that holds Dalits as inferior.
S: Perpetrators of violence against Dalits ? like those in Una and Jhajjar - do not know how much they have harmed themselves and society. In a discriminatory society, no one prospers and is happy. Research, science and technology, production, healthy politics, arts and culture cannot evolve in such a society, and mere government efforts are insufficient to create a developed country.
