    • Govt asserts SC status for Dalit Christians in Rajya Sabha
      Thanks to the intense lobbying work done by Christian groups, the case of Dalit Christians is appearing strong and positive like never before.

      The Government has said that the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has recommended the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes(SC/ST) status to converts to Christianity.

      Minister for Minority Affairs, Shri Salman Khurshid, made the statement during the Rajya Sabha session on August 3.
